Bio
To give you a little background on myself, I am 55 years old and a native Spanish speaker. My educational qualifications include a BA from the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) with Spanish as the main subject. My degree also includes several courses in English, Norwegian, Scandinavian languages, and Swedish as a second language. In addition, I have taken a special course for interpreters (Swedish-Spanish-Swedish), and in December of 2009 I completed the Professional Proofreading & Editing Correspondence Course run by Maple Publishing in London.

My educational qualifications include a BA from the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) with Spanish as the main subject. My degree also includes several courses in English, Norwegian, Scandinavian languages, and Swedish as a second language. In addition, I have taken a special course for interpreters (Swedish-Spanish-Swedish), and in December of 2009 I completed the Professional Proofreading & Editing Correspondence Course run by Maple Publishing in London.

My early career was in teaching Spanish and Swedish for refugees and immigrants. Following that I have, among other things, worked as an interpreter and also as a freelance translator/copy-editor/reviewer for Christian Light Publications (Virginia), translating and editing academic books within the field of religion. In addition, I have been working part time for Comactiva Translations, a translation agency situated here in Gothenburg. My task has been to proofread completed translations (English>Spanish and Swedish>Spanish) in a variety of fields. More recently, I have been working for translation companies like Lingo 24 (SWE/NOR>SP), ISO Translations (SWE/DA/NO>EN, EN/GER>SP, EN>SWE), Straker (EN>SP), Språkservice (SWE/EN>SP), Comunica (EN/SWE/DA/NOR>SP), and Babylon Human Translations (EN>SWE, EN>SP, SWE>EN), among others. I am also serving as a part-time editor for Lamp & Light Publishers in New Mexico, helping to coordinate the translation of Christian books from English into Norwegian. My responsibility includes getting the publication translated, reviewing it for accuracy, sending it to language usage review/copy editing, and working with the typesetter.


I have a fully equipped home office including my own PC, CAT-tools, and printer. On a personal level, I am conscientious and reliable, and take pride in performing a professional job for my clients.
