About Me

Spanish to English Translator

I’m a native English speaker, with a high level of Spanish and specialist translation training.

In other words, I can take your Spanish texts and communicate your ideas and information flawlessly in English.

A food and retail expert!

One of my specialisms is the food industry/ retail, I am especially passionate about sustainability and ethical business practices!

My work experience at Hotel Chocolat has made me passionate about translating for this sector having received CPD training about ethical business practices, and food safety, allergens, and recycling procedures.

A sport, dance, and fitness enthusiast!

Another area that I specialise in is sports.

My role as an administrator within a University sport department gave me further insight into, and knowledge of, the sports industry. Prior to this I spent three years spent as an award-winning university dance coach.

Why me?!

I have dedicated years of study to have both a linguistic and cultural awareness of the source language (Spanish) and the target language (English). This means that I am able to truly understand the author’s intentions and the purpose of the text, and can then communicate these ideas in English to an audience with different cultural expectations.
As a native English speaker I can truly tailor your texts to your UK target audience. No global English or unnatural grammar mistakes.
I am a kind and enthusiastic worker, putting my clients needs at the forefront of all I do.

I taught Katie on the Leeds University MA in Translation. She was an excellent student, always producing high quality translations and to deadline. I would recommend her. The only reason I gave her 4 stars rather than 5 is that she is obviously still in the very early stages of her career and her already good-quality work will undoubtedly improve to excellent and 5 stars as she gains in experience. Katie is also a pleasure to work with, friendly and personable and efficient. I don’t think anyone would regret using her translation services.
