Translation
It's no secret that English is the world's language of communication, making it crucial for spreading your ideas far and wide. Use a professional translator who cares about and is driven by the same things as you: it will make your message come alive in English.
I offer two main types of translation. Click below to find out more:
​
​
Marketing translation
I translate content from German, Italian and French into engaging and energetic English. Your marketing content isn't about words on a page. It's about the faces, personalities and characters in your company. That's what gives your texts spirit, and it's what brings a translation to life. I'm all about getting to know my clients. I will work closely with you to get to know your team and your brand inside out so that I can translate with your voice. Work with me and get fun, engaging and inclusive English-language texts with a (huge) splash of colour.
Diversity & inclusion translation
Does your organisation work in the diversity, equality & inclusion sector globally? Or do you have a dedicated D, E & I department within your company? I'd love to hear from you. I care passionately about making the world more inclusive and have carved out a specialism in this area, working on policy documents, campaigns and guidelines.
It's crucial that your translations themselves are inclusive if you work in D, E & I. Different languages have differing linguistic systems: work with a translator who understands and cares about that.
Language and culture consultancy
Many people around the world speak English, so many non-native English speakers create their own content in English.
​
It is important to consider that you may be influenced by your own cultural norms and the linguistic structures in your native language when you are writing in English.
Something crucial to consider is whether your text is inclusive and appropriate in the target language: remember that accepted language may differ depending on the target market.
I can support you in creating your English-language content, from answering a few small questions to collaborating with you on the entire document. I'm only a message away!
Interpreting and meeting support
As your interpreter, I’m here to help you get your message across in meetings, at conferences and in training events.
When it comes to talking about business, the language you use and the words you choose are crucial. I'm there to help you convey your message in the right way and ensure that you are reaching a wider target group.
It's crucial that your interpreter is warm and approachable like me! I enjoy engaging with people and like to make them feel at ease, making me a great person to have by your side in important times.
Why me?
There are many words to describe me: colourful, fun, professional, bubbly, friendly and dependable. Below I have picked my top four attributes that will help you to see that I am the right translator for you.
1. Reliable
My clients testify that I'm dependable and trustworthy. I keep in touch regularly throughout the entire process, so you will never ever be left wondering what is happening with your project.

I make people feel at ease, which will make our working relationship so easy. Knowing your translator personally and getting on with them is crucial for bringing your texts to life.
2. Energetic
I love having fun at work - who doesn't?! I always take your message seriously, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun: in fact, it will make your content more colourful and engaging.
4. Qualified
I'm a full member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (MITI) and the Chartered Institute of Linguists (MCIL). I also have an MA in Translation and Interpreting.

LGBTQIA+
I love working with companies who care about LGBTQIA+ topics. I translate guidelines, policy documents and campaign messages for a range of organisations, some of which focus entirely on D, E & I and some of which have passionate diversity and inclusion departments within their company.
MACHINE TRANSLATION
I work with translation technology daily to work efficiently and effectively, but I'm careful to make my client's message soar rather than crash land.
Get in touch to find out how I can use technology for your project.
There are three crucial questions to ask yourself when working with machine translation:
* Does your translator understand the benefits and, more importantly, the limitations of machine translation?
* Are they flexible in how it is applied and how machine translations are edited?
* Are they transparent with you about what technology they are using and when?
I'm knowledgeable, flexible and transparent, so you can rely on my professional advice.
