Bio
Hi! I'm a professional Spanish to English Medical and Scientific Text Translator, also able to work in Valencian. I'm also a member of the Spanish Association of Translators, Copyeditors, and Interpreters (Asetrad; Member #2633).

I'm the founder and lead Editor-Translator at EFL Scientific Editing: A professional business providing affordable high-quality proofreading, editing, and translation services to help experts in to publish their scientific material in polished English.

My motto: "Helping Good Science Speak for Itself"

Why me?

In a nutshell, with me this is what you get:

1. High-quality
2. Personality
3. Geek-friendly
4. Professional
5. Integrity
6. Personalised
7. Expert
8. Innovative

If you want to find out more about my experience and values keep reading. If not, thanks for visiting and I hope to hear from you soon. Have a great day! :)







These are my whys and hows:

• Geek-friendly: I'm a highly-qualified published scientist with a total 11 years’ experience in science-related areas and 7 years doing research at the bench. I know science, I know research, and I know what a pain publishing and writing can be and I'm here to help.

• High quality: Expert in English grammar and extensive knowledge of scientific publishing house styles (e.g. the American Psychological Association; APA, and Council of Science Editors; CSE).

• Cambridge-certified in teaching English as a foreign language to adults (CELTA) and 5 years’ experience as a sought-after executive English teacher, trainer, mentor, and coach.

• I'm prepared: 6 years’ experience in the editing, proofreading, and translation, and specialist in scientific and medical texts.

• Perfectionist by nature: if it’s not the best it can be there’s more work to do.

• Technology-savvy: advanced skills in the technologies crucial to the work, and way beyond in emerging technologies in science, education, design, etc. connecting in unique ways with my clients.

• Proven track record: I am an anti-crisis and anti-recession business – I have continued to grow despite the poor economic climate because my customers like my work and are happy to recommend me (ask if you need some references and testimonials).

Also, I have values I like to stick by. Here they are:

• Insight: Pay attention to the detail without making assumptions – ask if in doubt; always give options and alternative solutions, and provide tactful constructive feedback whilst maintaining integrity. Be honest without compromising the truth.

• Ownership: Listen, understand, anticipate, and respond to the client’s needs. Treat them fairly and as you would like to be treated yourself.

• Commitment: Build deep and long-standing relationships and good rapport with your clients. Never become a faceless brand. Make customer interactions personalised.

• Excellence: Maintain a perfectionist mentality – only impeccable is good enough. This means a commitment to providing great services and products and to be accountable by standing behind the quality of the work.

• Innovation: Commit to active engagement in learning and self-development activities to improve yourself and therefore also the services and products, and the company. Always endeavour to stay curious, open-minded, and entrepreneurial. Think differently no matter what and inspire whenever possible.

• Respect both the science and the clients. Be outcome-orientated and efficiently deliver exceptional, carefully-crafted results. These must show respect to the author’s style and intended meaning, reconstruct it into grammatically-sound, accessible, and natural English that’s appropriate for publication in their target audience.
