Professional Translation Experience & Practice

Since 2011, I have been providing linguistic expertise through highly specialised and technical services such as translation, editing and proofreading, either as a freelance consultant or in-house staff, respectively for literary publishers, governmental entities, academic institutions and international organisations within the United Nations system.
