Bio

I am a qualified MITI with eleven years’ experience in the translation industry, including almost six years working as a project manager and six years working as a freelance translator. I have a keen eye for detail and an excellent understanding of both target and source languages. My translations are fluent, concise and I always seek to convey the meaning of the original text, as well as producing an accurate rendition. I research extensively so that I am aware of any background or context before starting any work. I am extremely reliable and conscientiously meet agreed deadlines.

I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Accounting from the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT). I am also an experienced musician and have been singing semi-professionally for over fifteen years.


I studied German and Music at the University of Birmingham. I consistently achieved first class marks in translation modules during my degree course and spent a year in Vienna studying Germanistik at the Universität Wien to gain a broader understanding of Austrian culture and the German language. 

My specialist areas are music and finance. I also work regularly in the fields of travel & tourism, business contracts, wellness & spa, marketing, automotive and property.

As a project manager I was primarily responsible for co-ordination of translation projects. My role included:
Front of house - greeting clients, answering telephone and email enquiries
Preparing documents including quotes, purchase orders and marketing material
Sourcing suitable translators for multilingual projects
Liaising between clients and suppliers
Tracking project progress to ensure deadlines were met
Typesetting translated texts in over 40 languages using various software including Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe InDesign and Adobe RoboHelp
Proof reading typeset material against the original translation
Preparing print ready files for delivery
Attending marketing events and conferences as required
Creating and maintaining a database system using Microsoft Access for recording details of all jobs, clients, suppliers, etc.

In 2013 I joined Alphanumeric Assistance, a family-run partnership of experienced translators offering translation from German, Malay and Indonesian into English.
