My Language Services
Writing
Over my 20+ year career, I have written high quality content for the BBC, the CBC, Daily Hive, Destination Canada and corporate clients on subjects including food and drink, travel, technology, farming, agriculture, research, visual effects and social issues. Whatever the subject matter or target audience, I can write it.
Editing
For 40+ years, I have been proofreading - I can't help it. The misspellings and typos just jump out at me! But when you work with me, you get a lot more than that. I have 20+ years of detailed, high quality professional editing experience. I can make your content shine with perfection - so you can look your best.
Translation
I have translated from French, Spanish, and Slovene into clear, fluent English for European Union institutions and corporate clients. This has included official policy documents, internal communications, scientific theses, and more. I bring precision, nuance, and a deep respect for meaning to every translation I deliver.
