MY BACKGROUND

During my professional career I have held positions within international companies including Alcatel, Novartis, SAP and Babcock International Group in France, Switzerland, Germany and the UK. I worked as an Export Sales Specialist, In-House Technical Translator and Marketing & Communications Manager prior to establishing myself as a freelance translator in 2006.
As a freelance translator I have built up long-term working relationships with translation agencies and private companies, delivering high-quality translations across a wide range of industries.
I also have experience of working on the client side, sourcing language professionals to manage translation and interpreting projects in a variety of languages. Therefore I understand the challenges that clients face when searching for a suitable and reliable translator.
Alongside translation services I also write a range of marketing communication media in English including press releases, articles for trade publications, website content, newsletters and promotional materials.
I have both the professional and linguistic skills required to ensure that each project is completed to a high standard and to the satisfaction of the client.
