Bio

After completing a degree in French and German (BA Hons 2:1, 1997) I worked in various administrative roles. In 2013 I changed career after having completed a Masters in Translation in a European Context (Distinction, 2013). I am now a freelance translator working out of German and French into British English.

I translate and proofread corporate communications (minutes, agendas, press releases, reports) as well as some technical documents (technical regulations, product manuals, website listings) for clients from various industries including asset management, supply chain management and luxury goods. 

I am currently building a specialism in translating annual activity reports for various clients and I also have an interest in the tourism field. My masters dissertation examined the translations of French tourist board websites into English.

I am committed to continuous professional development and regularly attend conferences, workshops and courses (online and in person).

Projects this year have included:

- translating articles for a French tourist website 

- translating the documentation for board meetings and an AGM

- translating newsletters for a supply chain management client

- translating amendments to technical regulations (pallets)

-proofreading activity and annual reports for asset management, luxury goods, construction, and     engineering companies.

You can find out more about me on my website.
