AA Translation
& Language Services
Freelance translator
I am a translator with nearly 10 years of experience, with a special interest in human rights (specifically civil, political and social rights) and culture & history.
Over the years, I have translated a variety of text types, from sports and casino content to travel & tourism, retail and administrative texts. However, my passion has always been the study of humanity: our world, our cultures and our histories. This is a beautiful and diverse world we live in, and I take great joy in helping to share human stories with new audiences: through translation, we can promote cultural awareness, empathy and tolerance across borders.
We can also see that not everyone across the globe is able to enjoy all that our world has to offer, because of a lack of political, civil or social rights – among other factors. Translation plays a pivotal role in bringing such issues to light on a global scale. It is my mission to play a part in making our world a fairer and more tolerant place in which to live. I treat such translations with the utmost respect, maintaining high standards of confidentiality and accuracy.
