While I have worked extensively as a sworn translator, "my thing" is creative, and in particular, literary translation. It's not just a matter of mastering the source and target languages and the different nuances of meaning. It takes inspiration and a "gift" for conveying "the music of words" in the target language. As an award-winning literary translator, I have worked on various projects, including fiction, children's books, poems and songs.
