YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
I am a Chartered Linguist, a highly qualified and experienced translator with nearly twenty years of expertise in the translation and localization industry. My experience spans book translations and certified translation services. I specialize in intercultural communication, English as a Second Language (ESL), linguistics, and possess strong organizational, analytical, and interpersonal skills, alongside a dedication to excellent client service.
Since 1995, I have translated books from French and English into Italian. In 2012, I founded Baraka Certified Translations in Leicester (UK), delivering high-quality certified translations accepted by UK authorities and consulates.
In 2019, I launched Baraka UK Deed Poll, offering a seamless, straightforward, and stress-free service for legally changing names by Deed Poll. Additionally, I hold a Diploma in Paralegal, Law & Legal Secretary Level 4 and I am an Affiliate Member of the National Association of Licensed Paralegals.
