Carmen Álvarez

During the first eighteen years of my professional career, I worked almost exclusively with two agencies, collaborating with them on a full-time basis. This long-term stability was based on a steady volume of assignments and on the trust built over time, supported by reliable and consistent work.

In recent years, I have expanded my client base to also work with other agencies and companies in the technical and industrial sectors. This diversification has allowed me to take on projects in new areas of engineering and medical devices and further develop my expertise. These collaborations are characterised by a high level of trust and by the assignment of particularly demanding projects.

Throughout my career, the quality and consistency of my work have led me to receive assignments that require a particularly exceptional attention to detail or are delivered directly to the end client without further review. In addition, during my first months in the sector, I was entrusted with review assignments, an early recognition of the technical and linguistic quality of my work.

Outside my professional life, I devote much of my time to mountaineering and mountain sports such as via ferrata, alpine climbing and canyoning. I also organise long-distance multi-day hiking trips for my mountain club, an activity that combines planning, analysis and attention to detail — qualities that I also bring to my work as a technical translator.
