In a globalised world, quality English translations are essential for reaching a wider audience. When you want to make a good impression and publish material that has been adapted with the market in mind, it’s important to entrust your texts to an experienced professional. I have worked in the translation industry for over a decade, both as a freelancer and in-house, and have a master’s degree in interpreting and translation. For all your communication needs, your translations are in safe hands.
I’m an English native, fluent in French, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. Working from these source languages, I carefully create English translations which read as if they had been written in English from the start. This means producing a natural result, employing conventions and terminology best suited to the text and target audience.
I work in several specialist areas and have been contracted by many companies, universities, banks and international organisations. These roles have been performed while living in five different countries, leading to a high level of intercultural awareness – essential when translating your words for a global public.
