Academic and general French/German to English translation
I am a freelance translator specialising in the humanities and history. My academic background is in early modern history: I got the fourth highest first in my year at the University of Oxford, and went on to pass my research Masters without corrections at the University of York.
I translate fast: ~1000 words an hour for general texts, and ~500 for complex academic texts. For scale, the 'standard' number of words per hour you'll find online is 250.
I love writing. I have won prizes for the best thesis in gender history (University of Oxford) and the best essay in international history (Balliol College, Oxford). I have also honed my writing in more commercial settings, as Head of Marketing for an international conference on effective altruism.
