About Me
Who am I, why I do what I do, and how I can help you.
I know that being communicative, delivering great work, and always respecting deadlines is the least you can expect from a freelancer. But have you considered someone who will always go that extra mile to make sure you get exactly what you want, exactly the way you want it? Someone who is working with you, not for you? Someone who considers your success their success?
Well, that's me.
Story Time
It started out as a way to fund my travels.
After putting my career in science and education on hold for six months to backpack through Southeast Asia (wonderful experience, definitely recommend!), I ended up with a problem: I wasn’t ready to go back.
But my initial savings were almost over and now I needed to work. That’s when translation came to play.
I’ve always loved reading, writing and languages. After achieving my certificate of proficiency in English in 2008, I had worked as an English teacher for many years and had done occasional translations for colleagues and friends – I had even worked with a local translation agency for a brief period.
Becoming a full-time freelance translator seemed like the perfect idea. And guess what? It really was.
