5 years (+) experience working as a Trilingual PA/Administrative and Research Assistant,Translator and Proof-reader for international organisation in London (UK) in the area of population & development, reproductive health & family planning, whilst undertaking substantial part-time freelance translation work for a humanitarian relief organisation and an ethical investment research organisation.
Excellent experience translating research questionnaires and guidance notes on socially, ethically and environmentally responsible behaviour of companies, covering a range of issues, e.g. environmentally-friendly products,GM-food, animal testing, human rights and employment standards of companies with operations in developing countries(child labour, forced labour, etc.) and compliance with ILO Conventions , respect for the rights of indigenous communities, involvement in arms trade, fair trade, etc.
Also have excellent experience in translating/abstracting Social/Environmental Reports, project reports, surveys and research reports from German companies into English (for information purposes);
I have also translated two series of ethical company profiles:
- on German food manufacturers, and
- German pharmaceutical cosmetics & detergents companies.
In the area of NGO work, I also have excellent experience of translating country reports, mission reports, research reports, presentations, press releases and press packages for public awareness campaigns and web-based campaigns, for instance, on World Food Day or International Water Day, as well as project proposals for submission to major donors.
I also translate general economic and business information, academic studies and research reports, research questionnaires, website information, standard commercial contracts (General Terms & Conditions of Sale), employment contracts, CVs, company and product descriptions and commercial correspondence.

By translating major ethical investment research studies and a wealth of other useful information for ethical investment research institutes in London and Europe, I have been of vital support to them in helping them to obtain important information on companies' social, ethical and environmental behaviour for ethical investors.
In translating project proposals for NGOs, I potentially help them to obtain funding from major donors and governments.
In translating employment contracts and CVs, I might help people find a job.
