About me
Hello, my name is Maria. I'm a native Spanish speaker and have a Master's degree in Audiovisual Translation and Medical Translation, as well as a Bachelor's degree on Translation and Interpreting in both English and German languages. Recently, I have worked as a project manager in a language service enterprise, and as a language assistant at the Robert-Schuman-Berufskolleg in Dortmund, Germany.
I am a communicative and decisive person with skills in organisation, quality management and customer relations. I have been living in Germany for four years and speak three fluent languages, so I can easily adapt to new situations.
I have a passion for audiovisual translation and for proofreading and editing texts, aiming always for perfection in terms of spelling, grammar and style.
