About me
A highly educated freelance translator working from French, Spanish and German into clear and concise first-language English, I specialise in easy-to-read, natural translations of technical and scientific texts. I have extensive experience translating documents relating to software interfaces and help files, healthcare, pharmaceutical research, international development agencies and bodies, marketing and corporate literature. I enjoy researching new subjects and stick to instructions and guidelines. I work with a range of corporate clients, private individuals and agencies to deliver the best possible job on schedule and within budget. Most importantly, I love what I do!
Services
I offer a range of language-related services such as translation, proofreading, checking, editing, précis writing, summary reports, content analyses, semantic audits and glossaries. I regularly work from video, audio and text files of all shapes and sizes, and also have experience of working with web-based content management systems.
I translate between the following language pairs:
French - English
* French (France) to English (UK / Hiberno)
* French (Belgium) to English (UK / Hiberno)
* French (Switzerland) to English (UK / Hiberno)
* French (Canada) to English (UK / Hiberno)
* French (Africa) to English (UK / Hiberno)
Spanish - English
* Spanish (Spain) to English (UK / Hiberno)
* Spanish (Latin America) to English (UK / Hiberno)
German - English
* German (Germany) to English (UK / Hiberno)
* German (Austria) to English (UK / Hiberno)
* German (Switzerland) to English (UK / Hiberno)
I also localise from US to UK English.

Additional skills
I've worked with several web-based content management systems and have a good working knowledge of Trados, Wordfast and Déjà Vu. I'm also familiar with DTP packages such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I have experience of writing for the web, and maintain a professional blog here.
Most importantly, I don't rest on my laurels. I invest a lot of resources in the ongoing development of both my translation and subject-specific skills. I'm fortunate to have regular contact with a strong network of experienced colleagues and take occasional short-term inhouse positions. As a result, my clients know they're dealing with an engaged, enthusiastic professional.
