LATEST LEARNING IN COURSE: London School of Economics Digital Marketing Strategy and Analytics Career Accelerator, 480 hours, May – Nov 2025.

As a full-time freelance content strategist and digital marketer with a background in copywriting, editing and translation, I engage in CPD on a regular basis.

All this training combined with many years of on-the-job experience and founding my own online translator training business mean I offer an unusual polyvalent profile.

My three post-graduate qualifications assure you of my professional competency in writing, editing and proofreading across dual languages and in English-only texts.

Copywriting, SEO and digital marketing have been priority areas in my CPD activities since 2013.

I’ve worked in many different subject areas and can adapt to a broad range of projects that require expertise in writing, editing and marketing, especially SEO.

As a digital nomad, I work with clients all over the world.
