I am a freelance English-language multimedia editor with 17 years of experience. I edit news, features, TV and audio scripts, video captions and subtitles, specialising in working with translated copy (both human and AI translations) and copy written by non-native speakers.
I also adapt stories for an English-speaking audience from other languages, and recently delivered a series of workshops on this to translators at Swiss Info.
I'm currently working on a freelance basis for Radio France Internationale (RFI) and Le Monde's English service.
Other recent projects include working as a story editor at Swiss Info, two years as the script editor for the English edition of ARTE's Europe Weekly news programme, a second stint as the English editor on ARTE's annual European Collection documentary project, editing and translating copy for French art and culture magazine Revue, working as an editor and translator for The Africa Report (Jeune Afrique) and a project for Euronews launching a new online show based on good news, for which I was news and script editor.
I have also worked on translation, transcription, script editing and subtitling for various documentary film projects and podcasts.
I've held staff jobs at Le Monde, ARTE and Euronews, and before moving to France I worked as an online journalist, a sub-editor, a feature writer and a deputy magazine editor for newspapers, magazines and websites including The Scotsman and Scotsman.com, Scotland on Sunday, The Herald and Heraldscotland.com, The Independent, The Sunday Herald, The Scottish Sun, The Local France, The Daily Record and Dailyrecord.co.uk and The List magazine.
I have an MA in French Studies from the University of Aberdeen and I'm from Edinburgh (via Muscat and Brussels) and now live in Paris (via Glasgow and Lyon).
