French and Italian to English
I produce pitch-perfect content for culture, art, social sciences and health.
I specialise in creative and editorial translations, particularly relating to books, film and the arts, as well as social sciences. I also still have a journalist’s curiosity and ability to adapt quickly to new topics.
I love the way the same concept can be expressed in such a variety of ways in different languages. I get a real sense of satisfaction from finding just the right form of words to bring the meaning and spirit of a text into English.
