About me:

I am Begoña Romero, an experienced freelance English to
Spanish translator based in Manchester, UK, and trading as Bee Spanish
Translations. Passionate about intercultural communication, research and
writing, I have been helping businesses and authors thrive in the Spanish
market since 2018 through bespoke translations that capture every nuance,
faithfully recreating the message and the tone.

With over a decade of experience in multinational corporate
environments, I have a deep understanding of corporate jargon and companies’
specific needs and expectations, coupled with the advantage of having a
genuinely bicultural perspective.

I have recently completed a Master's in Medical Translation
that has provided me with expertise in specific terminology, tools and
regulations to ensure I can translate your medical content with care, precision
and confidence.
