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.
