I offer translation from French, German and Russian into English. I am specialised in translation for law, finance and the pharmaceutical industry. I also offer the editing and proofreading of texts written by non-native speakers of English to sound fluent, idiomatic and persuasive. In particular I have helped PhD students, academics and consultants to write and publish their work for an international English-speaking audience.
