Professional, experienced and focused on quality

A passion for language and a love for the Middle East form the basis for the profession that I have been practising for over two decades and still very much enjoy.

My fascination for the Arab world led to a bachelor's degree in Translation Studies Arabic, a master's degree Arabic Language and Culture and eventually to a fifteen-year stay in Cairo (Egypt).

With over twenty years' professional translation experience, excellent writing skills and research abilities, I focus on providing quality translations with special attention to the register and style of the target text.
