I am a professional translator with expertise in economics, business and finance. Apart from my five-year university degree in economics and my master degree in economy and politics of energy and environment, I have worked as auditor and coordinator of economical and financial projects, preparation and accompaniment of budgets and financial management in a public service for 16 years.

Economic and financial texts are highly technical and require great expertise from the translator. I have ten years of professional experience as a freelancer translator in these fields. Due to my educational and professional background, in addition to translating or editing services, I provide additional services including: translating and abstracting, researching, gathering information, compiling data (by also presenting information in charts and tables) and reports writing.

My clients appreciate this opportunity for them to save time and ensure consistency, especially for long and very complex translation projects.

My main areas of expertise include macroeconomic essays, information packs, company overviews, annual reports, factsheets, press releases, financial statements, market commentaries, advertising and marketing, presentations, web contents, product brochures, newsletters, press kits, press releases, business and management, business correspondence, memos, internal reports, corporate presentations, internal valuations, stock exchange prospectuses, tax-related texts.
