I am a writer and editor with a proven track record in editorial, writing and blogging. I approach every project with enthusiasm, dedication, and attention to detail. A self-driven, quick learner, I thrive on new challenges and work well both in teams and independently, taking the initiative to deliver high-quality results. I am bilingual and understand the importance of excellent translation and transferring meaning from one language to another. This does not just mean copying tone to convey meaning, sometimes meaning is conveyed better when tone is changed to adhere to the language being 'dubbed'. I speak exceptionally well, and can tone-shift to ensure my translated speech is seamless and believable.
