About Me

Picture
Ever since I did my first basic translation in my A-Level German class, I have been passionate about becoming a top class translator. The day after receiving my degree in Translation and Interpreting, I moved to Germany, where I then spent six years studying, living and working in order to hone my knowledge of the country and its language. My in-depth understanding of the German language and culture means that your message will never get lost in translation.

Whilst living in Germany, I spent almost five years working as an in-house translator for one of the country's biggest companies. As a specialist translator for the board of management and supervisory board, my main focus areas were risk management, compliance and marketing. My role often meant that I only had a short amount of time to produce high quality translations on complicated subject matter. You can therefore always rely on me to produce translations of the utmost quality, even under time pressure.

In addition to risk management and finance, I have a wealth of experience in the fields of economics, human resources and academia. As a result of my love of literature and writing, I especially enjoy getting to grips with more creative texts, such as marketing material, press releases and literary texts. I hope that my creativity will help to make your text stand out from the crowd.
