Hi, I’m Shaun—a Spanish and English translator with a passion for language. My journey began during childhood, when I lived in Spain and attended both English and Spanish schools. TED has always been a source of inspiration for me, and being part of the TED Translators community allows me to combine my admiration for TED with my love of language. It’s exciting to contribute to sharing ideas that truly matter. When I’m not translating or enjoying TED Talks, I’m often reading, walking, playing chess—despite my modest rating—or sitting in the sun with a beer during my holidays in Andalucía, where I spend most of my vacations. I’m a native British English speaker and hold two distinctions in the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL) Level 6 Certificate in Translation (CertTrans), as well as a Spanish C2 certification.
