Bringing books to life in Spanish—meticulous, creative, and trusted by publishers & global brands
Overview
With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in translating fiction, non-fiction, and children’s books for leading publishers and cultural institutions. From novels and essays to illustrated titles and catalogues, I bring a deep understanding of voice, tone, and cultural nuance to every project. I also work across marketing, academic, and audiovisual content with the same attention to clarity and detail.
When you work with me, expect clear communication, a collaborative spirit, and a deep respect for your work. I tailor my process to suit your project—whether that means diving deep into your narrative world or ensuring your text shines in its new language. I’m detail-oriented, deadline-conscious, and love a good stylistic challenge. My goal is always to make your writing resonate just as strongly in Spanish as it does in English. If you're looking for a translator who’s as invested in your story as you are—and who won’t shy away from the occasional pun or poetic turn—you’re in the right place.
