My curiosity and love for languages dates back to my childhood. Translation was part of my destiny. Now based in Catalonia, immersed in a foreign culture every day, yet still firmly attached to my Irish roots, I help others to overcome that ‘lost in translation’ feeling and to have a confident, natural and convincing voice in English. In 2004 I completed a B.A. in Spanish and French at Trinity College Dublin, and I subsequently completed a Master’s Degree in Translation Studies. This heightened my sensitivity to the linguistic, cultural and intellectual issues involved in translation. My daily work consists of translating and proofreading academic articles for universities and researchers who need to publish their articles in English.

As a child, I devoured books, I was spellbound when I heard people speak in other languages and loved visiting museums and monuments. When it was time to choose what to study, I opted for art history and worked for several years in the field of museums and cultural management in different countries, drawn by the possibility of learning other languages. Then, in the summer of 2006, in Amsterdam, translation crossed my path and opened the door to my other great vocation. A Master’s degree in Hispanic Language and Literature and another in Literary and Audiovisual Translation did the rest, giving shape and depth to my professional project.
Both of us have almost two decades of experience in the field of translation, and our shared curiosity drove us to embark on this new journey at the service of culture.
We believe that we complement each other, and that combining our talents, skills and strengths is the perfect formula to offer you a complete linguistic service that ensures free-flowing, natural and accurate communication to attract and retain your target audience.
