Freelance translator with 8 years experience. 2 Master Degrees.
Translating from French/Italian to English.
More than 10 years translation experience. Master's degree in Technical and Specialised Translation. Master's degree in Information Technology. Studied food/wine and tourism in Italy. In a previous life, I was a dancer.
I have sixteen years’ experience working with companies who specialise in marketing or tourism and are looking to do business with the UK. I translate corporate communications from French and Spanish into English and use my copywriting skills to convey their company’s message in stylistically and culturally appropriate language so that they can reach a global audience.
My recent translation projects include five press releases for a Spanish marketing agency; four brochures including one for a cosmetic brand; web copy for four hotels and newsletters for a boutique French hotel.
I've been an editor, translator and writer for 14 years - mostly in the area of newspapers, but also in the travel and environment sectors. Originally I worked in the UK energy sector, and have degrees in economics and environmental policy. 10 years living in Scandinavia and working in the media there has enabled me to be a translator from Danish and Norwegian.
I am a talented, ambitious and hardworking individual, with broad skills and experience in computer programming, writing and leading projects.
Furthermore, I am adept at handling multiple tasks on a daily basis competently and at working well under pressure.
A key strength is communication; building strong relationships with people in order to deliver the best results.
