Welcome! Thank you for stopping by!

With over 30 years of experience in language instruction and translation, I’ve honed my skills across various roles: translating, editing, proofreading, transcreation, quality assurance, interpreting, and language instruction. If you’re curious, you can find more details about my journey in my CV (check out the tab above!).

But let’s talk about the present. Despite my long tenure, I’m no fossil—I’ve kept pace with the ever-evolving landscape of language and communication. Few years ago, I completed a master’s program in translation studies at the prestigious University of Tartu in Estonia. 🎓

Now, let’s debunk a myth: Translation isn’t just about swapping words like puzzle pieces. It’s an art that requires three essential ingredients: empathy, expertise, and experience. When I tackle a text, I immerse myself in the author’s intentions and ideas. I consider the cultural nuances, the unspoken context, and the subtle shades of meaning. It’s not just about language; it’s about capturing the soul of the message.

And yes, sometimes I play detective. When faced with gaps in knowledge, I don my humble hat and dive into research. Because every translation is a bridge—one that connects people, cultures, and ideas.

So, whether you need a crisp Estonian translation, a nuanced interpretation, or a finely tuned edit, count me in! Let’s collaborate and create linguistic magic. 🌟
