Services
Cross- Cultural Communications & Community Engagement
To outreach, bridge, engage and activate communities of different cultures is an art. It’s a skill to recognize differences and similarities among cultural groups to effectively engage with one another. My work is key in impacting community connectedness, and increasing trust and collaboration.
Translation
To get past the algorithmic aspects of translation, one must enter a realm where grammatical interpretation, word choice, and the infusion of tone and style can totally transform a text from one meaning to another, even if the words themselves remain similar. Today, more than ever, it’s a must to work with certified and/or experienced translators.
Interpretation

Editing & Proofreading
Rest assured that your translated documents are proof-read a second time, ensuring that not only are mistakes spotted, but also that the text has a polished, natural flow. No matter how short or how long, avoid having people shaking their heads at yet another poor translation.
Transcreation
Generally applied in brief, short signage, headlines or slogans where translation doesn’t quite convey the true message. This work is all about decomposing a text and rewriting it in a creative way so the emotion and message fit the language or culture.
Subtitling, Dubbing & Voice Over
The growth of multimedia has moved ahead rapidly because of the insatiable demand for it to be translated into foreign languages and particularly for use on the internet. Ensure your project is accessible across platforms with subtitling, dubbing, and voice over.
