Translation & Copy Editing

A street in Guatapé, northwest Colombia

I’ve always loved travelling, and from travel came a love of languages. I studied French and German at University, and I later moved to Colombia for more than two years, where I learnt Spanish. I now translate from French and Spanish into English.

Translation is all about making a text as readable, fluent and natural in the target language – the language you are translating into – as in the source language – the language you are translating out of. You shouldn’t even notice it’s been translated.

I will translate your text paying close attention to the context, tone, and target readership. My editing skills come in to play when translating as I have a sharp eye for detail and accuracy, so you can be sure that the finished translation is free of errors and reads fluently in English.

I can also edit and proofread your English content. Since 2024 I’ve been the lead copy editor for a global digital brand, editing and proofreading customer-facing emails and mobile messages. If you’ve ever booked a ride or ordered food to be delivered to you via a particular app, chances are I’ll have edited the emails you receive from that company!

I also review and edit marketing materials for a technology giant. So if you have a particular brand of android phone, or smartwatch, I have probably cast an eye over the online marketing information, and even the scripts/wording for the TV ads.

As a journalist, I’m an excellent communicator – and communicating the client’s message to the English-speaking world is at the heart of what I do.
