With a background in educational tours, I have an extensive knowledge of the travel industry, which I have applied to my translation career over the last 3 years.
The travel and tourism texts I translate include website content, newsletters, marketing content, menus, anything relating to hotels and accommodation.
I’m an MA-educated professional translator working from Spanish, French and Welsh into English (although not all at once!).
Background
For over 3 years I have been assisting clients with their translation and proofreading needs. Prior to this, I worked for ten years at a school travel company, using my language and translation skills on a daily basis while gaining first-hand in-depth knowledge of the educational travel industry.
What I offer
Do you want your texts to engage with your audience and allow your business to reach English-speaking customers? Then look no further!
I translate texts from Spanish, French and Welsh into English for businesses and private individuals, providing content that is accurate, engaging, suitable for the target audience and fits the client brief.
I proofread English texts, checking for spelling and grammatical errors and ensuring that they are fit for purpose.
I also edit machine translations for language service providers, ensuring that they read naturally and fluidly.
I have experience in working with many different types of texts, including website and social media content, newsletters and blogs, product descriptions, data sheets, labels and packaging, leaflets and brochures, marketing materials, articles, among others.

A self-confessed skincare and makeup junkie, I spend far too much time and money on beauty websites (but I can call this professional development, right?)
