How I can help you

I am a qualified and experienced translator and editor. As an advocate for plain language, I believe in clarity without sacrificing precision. A text isn’t just a text. I truly care about my work and my clients’ needs. I get involved in their projects to help them achieve their goals. If you need a well-written text in Spanish or English, I can help.

I specialise in a few fields

Traducción de textos académicos

Translation and editing of academic articles

Make sure your academic article isn’t rejected due to language issues.

I will take the journal or organisation’s requirements into account to produce the best possible version of your work.

Maximise your chances of having your article accepted.

I work mainly in these fields:

  • International law
  • European Union law
  • Economics and finance
  • Computer science and artificial intelligence
  • Political science and international relations
  • Corporate law
  • Contract law
  • Environmental law

Adaptation to plain language

Plain language is not about downgrading or diluting the text. On the contrary: it’s a more effective, direct, accessible, inclusive and respectful way of communicating. There is no better way to connect with the reader, as well as to help them understand and exercise their rights and obligations.

If it can be expressed simply, why not do so?

I also tutor other translators

I believe in the importance of specialisation and continuous learning. That’s why I collaborate with Ruth and Fernando from Traducción Jurídica as a tutor for their legal translation and financial translation courses.

Who I am

and how I can help you

My love for languages began early.

I grew up in Tenerife speaking English with my dad, Estonian with my mum and Spanish at school. Even as a child, I hated not knowing the meaning of a word – I even used to take a notebook around with me to jot down new words!

I studied Translation and Interpreting at the University of Granada and then worked as an in-house translator and English teacher for a few years.

Rebecca Porwit Läänemägi, I work with English, Spanish and Estonian

I went freelance in 2018. I started working on academic papers and soon found I also really enjoyed working with legal and financial documents. 

I met Ruth and Fernando from Traducción Jurídica when I did their specialised translation courses, and ended up joining their team in 2020. 

Since then, I’ve been combining my translation and editing work for different clients with the tutoring of translation students at the online translation school Academia de los Grandes Traductores.
