Bio

I'm a native Spanish speaker with a 4-year degree in Translation and Interpreting from the Universidad Pablo de Olavide (Seville, Spain), currently living in Frankfurt. I have completed a course on Software and Games Localization at imperial College (London, UK) and an online Masters program on Audiovisual Translation offered by the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (Spain). I am experienced in Eng-Spa-Eng translation/proofreading in fields such as Marketing, e-Commerce, Website localization or Technology although my favourite areas are Science and Audiovisual content (Movies, TV, Videogames,...). I currently work as a Junior Translator for Nintendo of Europe GmbH in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, I also speak French and a little Japanese, since I am very fond of its culture and history.

Areas of expertise

Audiovisual Productions, ecommerce, Marketing + Communications, science, Videogames, Websites

The TED story

I found out about TED.com from my dad, who is a Doctor and saw Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight (http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html) after a work colleague told him about it. I started watching a few videos and really liked the site. I trully found it quite inspirational so I decided I would like to become a part of it doing what I love the most in order to help others enjoy all these wonderful talks as much as I do.
