Hi!

Thanks for visiting my profile. 

I'm a native English translator with over 15 years' experience, with a particular focus on helping companies and organisations who are working towards a better world for all. 

I’m originally from Ireland but I lived in London for 12 years before moving to Barcelona in 2005. 

I translate from Spanish and Catalan and have an excellent knowledge of both cultures. This allows me to perfectly understand the cultural references and linguistic nuances of texts in these languages and to accurately translate them into English, taking into account linguistic norms, writing style, and the target audience.

I am passionate about my profession and also about the subjects I translate.  I give every translation or editing project 100% and I won't be satisfied until you're satisfied.

When you work with me you are guaranteed:

- professionalism
- dedication to your project
- ongoing communication
- adherence to deadlines
- fairness and honesty

Check out the services I offer and the main areas I work in.

Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss a project with me or if you have any questions :-)

Professional development

I am firmly committed to continuous self-improvement and to expanding my knowledge base in my areas of specialisation.
