Translating at the intersection between human rights, sustainable development and social sciences ~ French and Spanish to English ~ ISO 17100:2015 Qualified

In an ever more globalized world it is unwise to assume that everyone speaks English. Being able to communicate with people who operate in different language cultures is an important part of working together for a more prosperous and harmonious world.

For me translation is about breaking down language barriers to bring people together, whether for commercial or social ends. I'm passionate about translation's role in the global community which helps to make me a reliable and approachable translator to work with.

PRIORITIES
- Working with NGOs, government bodies and ethical companies to enable partners to communicate clearly across language and cultural boundaries.
- Supporting local communities to make their voices heard at the international level.
- Properly understanding your needs so I can translate your documents in the best possible way, giving you the best value for money possible.
- Helping you to achieve your full potential in the international community.

I translate reports, articles, funding requests and similar documents from French and Spanish into clear, concise English. Using my in-depth knowledge of sustainable development, human rights and social sciences-related issues, concepts and terminology, I will work with you to deliver high-impact, fit-for-purpose translations at a fair price.

My current clients describe me as reliable, professional and helpful. Let me help you break down language barriers, communicate effectively and achieve your goals.

Qualifications: MA in Translation; LLM in International Law, Globalization and Development.
