Thank you for stopping by to read my profile!

Highly qualified French to English Translator specialised in translating online courses and online content including web copy, blog articles, press releases and social media content.

I bring my clients' messages to life in naturally flowing English to create clear, compelling and captivating content.

With a background in IT, I have a rare combination of technical understanding and creative writing skills. This makes me an expert at writing highly digestible or educational IT content suitable for both non-technical and technical audiences, but I'm equally at home writing appealing copy about tourist destinations.

Here's what my clients say:

"Exceeded expectations"
"Excellent translation"
"Handled very well"
"I just wish we received more French translation jobs so that we could work with you more regularly!"
"Consistently excellent"

• Diploma in Translation (FR>EN) - Chartered Institute of Linguists

Previous work experience:

• Experience in multiple industries
• Finance – unit-linked pensions, life assurance, investments
• Insurance – underwriting, policy administration and claims
• Paper manufacturing – shop floor automation, reel handling, labelling, stencilling
• Air traffic control – European standards for aircraft separation
