Bio

I am a qualified and experienced media and humanities translator, working from French and Spanish to my native British English. I live in the south of Spain, and I have a C1 level in both French and Spanish.

I have four years experience translating media content: in the past I have worked with the BBC as a transcriber/translator, and I currently work freelance for VICE.com, translating articles of varying subject matter from French and Spanish to English.

I have a Master's with grade Distinction in Translation and Interpreting from Manchester University (UK). For this I completed modules in interpreting, audiovisual translation and literary translation (for my dissertation I translated a section of Arturo Pérez-Reverte's Adventures of Captain Alatriste).

I translate and proofread literary and academic content ad-hoc, and recently translated a short story set during the coronavirus pandemic from French to English. I am passionate about literature, media and cinema, and very much enjoy the gateway that translation gives me into this world.

I have a working knowledge of Subtitle Workshop and SRT Edit Pro, which I use to create .srt files. I am also familiar with Netflix and European subtitling guidelines. I have worked for Sublime Subtitles and SMILE-Translations creating subtitles from French and Spanish to US English.

I also have public service interpreting experience in London with DA Languages (medical, criminal, social work), working between French or Spanish and English.

I am always interested in new projects, so please don't hesitate to send me a message!
