About me

Translator (French to English) | Copywriter |  Transcreator

I’m a freelance French to English translator, copywriter, and transcreator with a background in marketing. I write in and translate into UK and New Zealand English.

​

I can help you truly connect with your customers or clients. I do this by crafting copy that’s not only well-written but is also consistent with your tone of voice, search engine optimised, and inspires your audience to act.

​

I specialise in marketing, education, and food and drink and I have a particular interest in exercise, wellness, and all things sustainable. I also help clients across a range of industries with their content needs – from website content and blog posts, to advert copy and ebooks.
