| About Cipriana Born in Buenos Aires , Argentina. I lived 16 years in London, England, from 1974 to 1990. After concluding my final studies in English Language and English Literature, I returned to Argentina where I started working as an English teacher in various schools, proofreader for editorials and eventually started my career as a translator.
In 1992, I lived a year in São Paulo, where I learned Portuguese. From 1993 to 1998, I lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and from 1998 to 2000, in Barcelona, Spain.
As a translator and proofreader I have acquired expensive experience in almost all areas, including commercials (slogans and technical product launch commercials), technical handbooks and user manuals (electronic devices, dental and clinical diagnostic equipment, etc), and other works in the areas of Marketing, Art, Medicine, Agriculture, Law (confidential documents and contracts in general), Business, Finance, Psychology, Literature, IT and Telecommunications.
