About me

Summary: Native English speaker, London based, provides translation, interpreting, proofreading and editing services on a freelance basis. Work exclusively from Russian, German, Croatian and Serbian into English. Only translate in fields where I have direct professional experience.

Education: First class honours from University of Durham with double distinction. MA from SSEES (School of Slavonic & Eastern European Studies, University College London, award pending).

Overseas experience: Worked and lived in Croatia, Bosnia, Russia, Kazakhstan and Germany, much of this as an in-house translator, interpreter and editor.

Work experience: Six years experience in financial services, primarily as an analyst in the fields of insurance, reinsurance, corporate strategy and IT. Also experience of working in government, an NGO and small businesses.

Primary fields of specialisation: Insurance, reinsurance, hybrid risk transfer mechanisms, Lloyd's of London and the London Insurance Market, financial, banking, securities, legal, general commercial, marketing, sales, political and IT.

Clients: Top-tier translation agencies for major investment and retail banks, insurance and reinsurance companies, major oil and engineering companies, English Football Association as well as many other SMEs and global blue-chip companies. A proportion of my clients are direct and I welcome requests to work directly.

NGOs: Special rates for NGOs and projects in the Arts.

Rates: Please contact me with details of your project and I will respond at short notice with a quotation based on word count, subject and deadline. Also deliver 'rush translations' but these normally incur a surcharge.
