Elvira Sepúlveda Durán

Graduated from the University of Alicante (Spain) in Translation and Interpreting: English and German. I have always been interested in other languages and cultures. I lived and studied in Edinburgh (Scotland) and the United States, which has broadened my horizons and crosscultural experiences. I am a hard-working person with high standards when it comes to my own work and a reliable and organized worker. I also work well alone as well as in a team and I can obtain good results under pressure. My work languages are: Spanish, English, German and French.
