Book lover. Passionate about literature, especifically children's literature. Educator. Lifelong learner. Critical literary analysis.

I have 5 years of experience in translation. I worked for "Le Monde diplomatique en español" and several non-profit organisations, including TED and SETEM.

I also have 7 years classroom experience, including working with children aged 6-15 and adults, in the areas of foreign language acquisition and computer literacy. Plus, I worked as an aupair in Bordeaux (France) for a year, with three kids aged 3, 5 and 8.

Upon finishing my MA in Research in Translation and Interpreting, I am currently working on a project that focuses on the translation of cultural references in children's literature.
