Expert Medical Translator and Writer in English and Spanish
I was born in Spain in 1975. I started speaking Spanish and English almost from the crib, and as far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a linguist. As I was growing up I started developing a relentless fascination by the mysteries of the human body. At eighteen, I went to college and embarked on a 10-year journey of training in medicine and translation in both Europe and the US. I became the medical translator and writer that I am today. I can’t believe twenty years of professional practice have already gone by. I wonder what the next twenty will bring to my team and I.
