About me

Welcome to Itzultzaile! This is a freelance translation project, taking its name from the Basque term for "translator", itzultzaile. The word derives from the verb "itzuli", which literally means "to give back" or "to translate".

I am an English > Spanish and German <> Spanish qualified translator based in Leeds (UK). I have lived my childhood between not only two languages but two cultures. Hence, I very early realised how important intercultural communication can be and I wanted to play my part in that world. Enamoured with language I went ahead and started my career as a professional freelance translator.

I hold a degree in Modern/Applied languages (Triple Qualification), having a Degree Certificate from each of the following universities: Northumbria University (UK), Universidad de Granada (Spain) and Fachhochschule Köln (Germany). My professional experience includes my current work as a freelance translator, research assistance (interpreting) for a EU-funded social research project and translation and interpreting for an NGO on a voluntary basis.
