Begoña in a few words
I’m a linguist and business support expert with 15+ years of experience in both corporate and freelance roles. As a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English, with knowledge of French and Danish, I bring a unique blend of linguistic expertise, cultural insight and business know-how to my work.

My passion for languages began at 11, later earning a degree in Translation and a Master’s in Medical Translation. After over a decade in office roles, I started freelancing in 2018. Navigating corporate jargon and tight deadlines with ease, I deliver professional results that exceed expectations.

Having lived in Spain, Denmark and the UK, my global perspective helps companies thrive in bilingual or monolingual settings.

I will help you connect with the Spanish market, ensuring accurate, compelling and culturally appropriate content, whether you need translation, localisation, copy-editing or MTPE:
  • Marketing: Websites, product descriptions, promotional copy
  • Corporate: Internal communications, newsletters, presentations, e-courses
  • Medical: Pharmaceutical content, medical devices, patient leaflets, product labels
  • Editorial: Romantic and erotic fiction, preserving intimacy and emotion
  • Project Management: Translation projects from start to finish
I also offer bespoke business support** for smooth operations in bilingual or English-only environments:
  • Administrative Support: Data entry, document management, folder organisation
  • Virtual Assistant: Managing calendars, correspondence and more
  • Cultural Consulting: Ensuring your content aligns with cultural norms and values
Why me?
  • Corporate Experience: 10+ years in multinationals
  • Multilingual Expertise: For seamless communication
  • Reliability: Top-quality results on time
* Confidentiality: Safeguarding your data
