About Me
I am who I am. I don't pretend being a superwoman, I don't like lying about what I can do and I like work well done.
I commit myself to the projects I engage in and I have a strong feeling for coherence. Likewise, I can proudly say that I am a reliable, honest and genuine person.
If that's what you are looking for, then you have found the professional translator you wanted.

- As a transaltor, I read everything that comes to me, but I am deeply in love with fantasy and sciene-fiction literature
- The Wheel of time is undoubtedly my favourite. Thanks Robert Jordan for this incredible story and thanks Brandon Sanderson for finishing it.
- Patrick Rothfuss and his stories about Kvothe are among my favourites too.
- The Earthsea novels of Ursula K. Le Guin introduced me to this amazing world.
- Dean Koonz and his terror novels got me into the sciene-fiction world
- I cannot forget my favourite Spanish writer, Arturo Perez-Reverte, who does nothing to do with fantasy, but I love his style. And Alatriste.
- And as a consequence, my Platonic love - in terms of translation - is to become a literary translator.
- Other
- I admit it. I am an Otaku. I love anime cartoons. I've always loved them!
- The first anime series I remember on TV is Dokonjō Gaeru; everybody seems to have forgotten about it.
- My favourites will always be Saint Seiya and Ranma. I cannot forget Dash Kappei, Sailor Moon and City Hunter.
- Then I discovered Rurouni Kenshin and Get Backers. Great too.
- And my lasts discoveries are Bleach and Naruto. Quite fun and in the line with the Nekketsu, my favourite genre.
- George Lucas Star Wars and Superman are probably the films I have seen the most.
- Disney films and Disney-Pixar films are probably in the second place of my personal ranking
- The Lord of the Rings is one of the best trilogy ever done.
- My weakness, however, is anime.
- My last, but not least, discovery is the universe of Doctor Who. I simply love it and that's why I am so happy to colaborate with Audio Who. Unfotunately, only the TV series has reached us in Spanish.
- I wouldn't mind becoming a script translator either.
- In the battle Nintendo vs. Sega, I was for Nintendo and its Platform games: Mario Bros, of course. But that's part of my childhood
- Then it was Tekken, Street Fighter and Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, fight games are always a good anti-stress therapy.
- And nowadays my likes are more tuned with role-playing games (MMO/MMOG games for PC) such as Diablo II/III, and 4x TBS games like Sid Meier's Civilization series, my favourite
- I also like music games and Light gun shooter games, to get rid of stress like the House of Dead franchises. Yes I think SingStar is very useful to relax.
- It couldn't be otherwise, being a translator. Writing is a passion, a hobby...something I really like
- I consider myself an amateur writer and I am working on an ambitious project, which is overshadowed by my translation work. It goes slowly but steadily.
