I am a qualified translator and language tutor based in my home town of London, with over ten years’ experience.

I found my love of translation studying French and Italian at the University of Manchester, and went on to the University of Westminster to take their Masters in Technical and Specialised Translation. After cutting my teeth as an in-house translation subtitler, translation project manager and secondary school language teacher, I am now very excited about building a unique freelance career that reflects my experience, skills and interests, and watching it develop as I expand my knowledge and expertise.

I love the fact that my work keeps me learning, from pizza dough starters and espresso machines to software strings and even a presidential welcome address. Translating also keeps me abreast of developments in technology and communication: I have rendered subtitles, managed voice-over projects, translated using the cloud; I am currently learning to build websites, and last summer I trained on a range of CAT tools at CenTraS (UCL). And, of course, my job also lets me play with language, offering me the daily satisfaction of finding just the right words to create an elegant and effective text that works for the client: nothing makes my working day like positive feedback and I enjoy providing all my clients with a friendly and efficient service.

If you are looking for a versatile and professional linguist for FR>EN or IT>EN translation work, or perhaps you have another project you are working on that involves my languages or areas of expertise (including teaching), do not hesitate to get in touch by email here. I look forward to hearing from you!
