German and Spanish into English Translation

I am from Newcastle upon Tyne, a city in the north of England, and I have lived all over the UK, as well as in several countries abroad. I have a degree in German and Linguistics from the University of Durham, which included translation and interpreting modules, and I have also since learnt Spanish to a high level. I also teach English as a foreign language which has helped me to understand my native language in more depth, and I have always been passionate about linguistics and language learning. 

I currently live in Spain (Almería, and before that Oviedo) and have also lived in Germany (Hamburg and Berlin) so I am familiar with the culture of both countries, something I feel that is essential in being able to translate faithfully. 

I am extremely reliable and I pride myself on my keen eye for detail. I enjoy the challenge that translation presents; the creativity required and the importance of staying as close to the original context as possible and conveying feelings rather than just words. 

I am experienced in working as a freelance translator and some of my clients include BMW, Hertz and Norwegian. I have also translated the website of a pharmacy in Germany which can be found under the following link: http://www.philipps-apotheke.de/en/

As a keen writer, I am very excited to be able to work with authors on Babelcube, make new contacts and gain a lot of experience in translating different genres.
