Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Barbara
Hello!
If you are looking for a translator from German to Spanish, or vice versa, you are in the right profile.
With a Spanish mother and a German father, I have worked for 24 years in a German multinational company in various roles, finishing as financial director of a division, demonstrating full professional competence in all areas in which I worked, and especially in administrative matters, as well as in the mastery of languages, Castilian, German and English.
For personal reasons, I decided to make a change in my life. I have created and managed an online business. This has led me down the path of content creation, as I am fascinated by capturing the reader's attention and conveying not only information, but emotions, which are what will motivate them to act in one way or another.
I have also managed the administrative tasks and telephone customer service for a small travel agency.
I love to write, as well as translate, especially, but not exclusively, everything related to natural health, music, and topics related to tourism, my great passions. Although due to my professional background, I have extensive experience and vocabulary in administrative, management, and financial matters within the business world.
I work on the translation of various documents, as well as confidentiality policies, general terms and conditions, legal texts, LOPD, privacy policies, shipping methods, etc., in video subtitles for natural health websites, in tourist and travel texts, as well as various types of websites.
I am used to working alone, independently organizing my time and priorities, although I have also worked for a long time in and with teams, so this way of working is not a problem for me either.
I guarantee total responsibility, seriousness, rigor, as well as a professional attitude and compliance with agreed deadlines.
I am at your disposal for any questions you may have.
