I've been working as a full-time freelance translator (English, Spanish, and Italian into French) for 15 years.

Being a veterinarian, I have a thorough knowledge of a wide array of scientific fields. I am passionate about science and am constantly striving to update and expand my knowledge.

Holder of a master's degree in Sustainable management of coastal and marine systems (IUSC, Barcelona), I'm also qualified in environment in general.

I finished second of the 9th Spanish-French literary translation contest organized by ProZ, which bears witness to my writing skills.

A few comments from my clients:

"We understand that you are busy, but your quality of work is what we are looking for. We would really love to collaborate with you on our medical translation projects, current and future."

"Malgré le manque de clarté dans la source et les commentaires de la cliente, elle reste vraiment particulièrement satisfaite de votre travail. Je vous remercie donc encore une fois pour votre qualité sans faille."

"Comme la cliente a beaucoup apprécié la traduction de la dernière fois, je reviens vers vous pour vous proposer le projet."

“Here is the revised Volume 2 with tracked changes. Alexandre, I thought you might like to see what I have changed. It was very little (brilliant translation!), and most of the changes were for homogeneity reasons.”

“I have come across your profile on ProZ.com and remembered you were a good and trusted resource at ***.”

“As this will be a very sensitive moment,  and we completely trust on your work, *** and I would like to ask if we can count on your help during this weekend :)”

“Our reviewers are always very happy when told that you’ve taken care of the translation.”

“I wanted to thank you for your previous translation. The client has just finished reviewing it and found it excellent! He liked your style, and asked specifically that you take care of future jobs if you’re available.”

“The client likes your translations very much. Next time, if you’re not available, please let me know, we’ll try to find a solution.”

“At any rate, the client gave us a very positive feedback on the translation. Thank you for your reviewing work.”

“I’ve just read your translation, and I wanted to thank you: it’s pretty much perfect on all levels.”

“We have been asked to do a test piece for a potential client and we were wondering whether you would have availability to translate the attached file. You are one of our most trusted translators and therefore would really appreciate if you could take this on.”

My rating according to one of the agencies I work with (Premium translator, average of 10.52 out of 10 [scores in excess of 10 are possible thanks to bonuses for style, etc.], 50 translations, 92.446 total words):
