Bio
I'm a native English speaker from Ireland and I currently hold a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Languages and Translation Studies, with a specialization in French and Spanish. I have spent three years studying in Dublin, Ireland and one year in Barcelona, Spain.
During my time in university I completed modules in technical/scientific, financial/business and literary translation.
On completion of my degree, I decided to live and work in Valencia for a year as an English teacher while doing a little freelance translation on the side.

I'm a strong believer in delivering quality translations into English such that they read as if they were originally written (and written well) in English, while remaining faithful to the source text and accurately covering all points with an appropriate register.
My work in university has instilled me with the need to respect urgent deadlines and to manage work accordingly.

This is my first time ever doing freelance translation online and therefore will be offering translations in the above - mentioned languages and short translations in Irish (up to 300 words) completely free of charge.
