Writer from birth, professional translator, and incorrigible traveler. I have BA degrees in Translation and Interpreting and in Audiovisual Communication and an MA in History of Contemporary Art and Visual Culture.
Although my love for my home city of Madrid will never wane, I have already had the chance to live in Paris, Palo Alto, Lima and Berlin, and I’m always seeking new horizons. With fifty countries in my backpack, my interest in travel, literature and visual arts has shaped my career and my lifestyle.
Over more than a decade as a professional translator and writer, I have published in a variety of media and formats, collecting a number of literary awards along the way.

While working with KAYAK Patricia shown to be an expert at turning information into useful, engaging and dynamic copy to position and amplify brands as well as to reach consumers in a memorable way. She has exceptional grammar, and no detail is overlooked when it comes to copy. KAYAK has been struggling to find a good copywriter to use data and traveling information in a dynamic way, and Patricia tackled that challenge seamlessly, embodying our tone of voice. I highly recommend Patricia, for short and long content and copy creation.

I have had the pleasure to work with Patricia in two different companies. Not only is she a fantastic teammate but she also managed to always deliver translation works of great quality. Her extensive career as a writer and freelance Spanish translator, both from English and from French languages, are quite impressive and she always met every single deadline she was given, showing a great degree of flexibility to make sure she completed all her works on time.

Patricia is a highly-skilled writer who can create an engaging text that tells a great story while also conveying a lot of historical and cultural information. We worked together at Questo where Patricia created a city-exploration tour in the historical part of Madrid. She built strong characters you can empathise with, despite the restrictions and length limitations of the project, and was able to bring a historical character to life. Her work is immersive and very well researched. As the editor of her quest, it was a pleasure for me to read her work.
