BOOK A
MEETING
My story with languages began during my childhood in Argentina, where I grew up speaking Spanish, listening to Piedmontese, Yiddish and German from my grandparents, and studying English since I was 8.
I then decided to pursue a career with languages by studying Translation and Teaching at the National University of Cordoba. In the year 2000, I was awarded a scholarship from the University of Westminster to do Translation, International Relations, Cross-cultural Communications and Academic English in London.
While at University, I also worked as a Manager of an International Language School, I taught English and volunteered as a Lecturer Assistant for 'Introduction to Interpreting'.
After travelling around Europe for 3 months, I settled in London in 2004. Driven by my passion for continuous development, I studied 'Translation for Media' at City University; German, Search Engine Marketing and Copywriting, Localisation of websites, and Principles of Business Management.
In 2008 I set up the foundations of 'Translator in London' and have never looked back. Since day one I have been helping clients to connect, trade, get visas, win tenders, apply for funding, market their products, teach and train others through the power of communications, translation and interpreting.
When working with ´Translator in London´ you get the experience, professionalism and attention you deserve from an independent business woman, and the reliability of a British Limited Company.
