Hi, I am Mayda. I was born in San Sebastian, in northern Spain, where I grew up in a bilingual French-Spanish environment. I began studying English when I was a young child and as a teenager, I took summer language courses in England, Canada and Switzerland.

I earned the Certificate of Proficiency in English from the University of Cambridge and the Diplôme Supérieur d’Études Françaises Modernes from l’Alliance Française,

I always knew I wanted to be a translator

In 1993, I moved to Switzerland to study translation at the École de Traducteurs et Interprètes, University of Geneva, where I graduated in 1997, specializing in legal and business translation.

In 1994 I was granted a CIUTI scholarship to study at the Heriot Watt University (Edinburgh) during the autumn semester, and an ERASMUS scholarship at the Institut Supérieur de Traducteurs et Interprètes (Brussels) during the spring semester.

Highly professional translation and interpreting services you can trust

After working for the UNPO at the United Nations Organization, I decided to return to San Sebastian, where I currently live. I have been a freelance translator and conference interpreter since 1998, and I have worked for numerous clients in the public and private sectors.

I count myself lucky to have such an interesting job I am passionate about.
