I’m a Chartered Linguist specialising in certified Portuguese‑ and Spanish‑to‑English translations for legal, academic and official documents used in the UK.

Solicitors, universities and private clients ask me to translate court orders, contracts, civil status documents, academic records and other official paperwork so it can be accepted by authorities such as UKVI, HM Passport Office, ENIC and UK universities. I only take on work I can do to a high standard, and I answer enquiries quickly and personally.

Alongside legal and official documents, I also translate texts with a human focus – especially in international development, sustainability and the environment.

My Portuguese and Spanish aren’t just classroom‑based: I’ve lived and worked in both Portugal and Brazil, and I founded a small charity near Belo Horizonte which still supports children and families today. You can read more about it at goodshepherdproject.org.uk.
