Hello, I am a sociology graduate from the Goldsmiths colleges Univ. of London I have mainly worked in the Media industry as production assistant and video editor (FCp most of all but also Avid). In between jobs I translate texts from English to Spanish and vice-versa. I am currently living in Hamburg, Germany, preparing the B2 examination and trying to find a niche in this wonderful city. My English is suffering as a result of acquiring new language skills but I believe it is worth it. I am currently working for euromonitor, writing pulses and comment pieces in English, but not enough to make ends meet and my credit is running out so I am a bit concerned but positive. Incidently Obama is celebrating his victory as I write this. A new start for the USA, a new start for the world, a new start for me, hopefully...
One of my greatest achievements have been to translate some English text for a book about Ferdinand the first of Austria, first of the Habsburg dynasty, the brother of Charles V of Germany and born in the town where I spent most of my childhood, Alcala de Henares. Also, I help the BBC during the aftermath of the Madrid bombing. I also worked as camera assistant and video cutter for the current Presidente of Spain during his first two years in office, despite the great environment there was not enough professional challenges as the job itself was very basic... |
