Additional Information:
12 years of experience in the translation industry – 9 as a full-time translator and 3 as a project manager. I translate from German or Spanish into my native language English and specialise in the following types of text:
Marketing translations –
I love finding just the right phrase or expression which will keep your audience hooked, and ultimately, show them the value of your product or service.
Science/tech translations –
In addition to a degree in languages, I have a diploma of HE in physics and have completed courses in astronomy. This gives me a solid base for understanding technical texts and supplying a clear, accurate translation. Particular areas of interest are renewable energy and photography.
