Bio

Freelance translator and subtitler based in Edinburgh, UK working from French, Spanish and Catalan into English (native language).

Graduated from Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh) with an MSc in Translation in 2018 and from the University of Glasgow in 2017 with an MA Honours in French and History of Art.

Two years of professional translating experience, specialising in art and design, tourism, global heritage, and literature.

Coming from an arts background, I enjoy focusing on cultural exchange in my work, and have specialised knowledge in the field of fine art, photography, architecture and world heritage.

From a more technical perspective, in my experience as a freelance translator I have translated and proofread a variety of medical research papers and medical documents. I have also worked on product descriptions and brochures for the clothing, automobile, and cooking appliance industry.

Some examples of my previous projects:

Tourism: localisation of a major French airline website, promotional materials for hotel chains, visitor guides for local festivals, PEMT for luxury travel brands

Artistic: translation of exhibition text for a large scale exhibition in Paris, translation of 1000 pages of comic books and graphic novels from French into English, editing and proofreading of translated wall text for exhibitions by the artist Cristina Rodrigues, wall text for local art museum in Les Andelys, wall text and panels for a new geological museum in Martinique, translation of press releases for the Edinburgh Fringe Society, subtitles for a variety of Spanish independent films, major releases and international film festivals

Medical: medical research papers from French university hospitals, articles for French medical journals, research into womens health in developing countries, regular translation of doctor's letters and patient files, translation of SAE report forms from Spanish into English for multinational pharmaceutical companies

Marketing: promotional texts for major hotel brands, online content and catalogues for clothing brands and the food sector, product descriptions and brand presentations

I always aim for my translations to be fluent and accurate, with a high quality of writing and attention to detail.
