Why Colibri? Because it’s the same word in French and Spanish for the beautiful native hummingbirds of the American Southwest, where I currently live.
I’m Johanna, and I specialize in editing and translation (French and Spanish into English) for international, non-governmental and non-profit organizations.
Editing
I’m here to help you turn your newsletter, report, white paper, brochure, website or any other material into powerful content that is accurate, clear and concise. I’ll take care of the copyediting or proofreading, so that you can focus on your ideas and content.
Translation
As a translator, I can help you to expand your reader base by creating a faithful rendition of the original text into English. I’ll ensure that the translation respects your style and tone, uses the right terminology and is appropriate for your target audience. The documents I translate cover a broad range of technical, political, scientific, social, economic and legal issues.
Having worked as an editor and translator in the United Nations system for a decade, I have a solid understanding of the United Nations, its various bodies and committees and its many programmes, missions and initiatives launched over the years, in addition to the many fields of work in which the organization operates.
Whether you’re a well-established international organization or a small NGO, you’ll benefit from my linguistic and terminological expertise and background knowledge in the fields of sustainable development, international peace and security, human rights and many other issues that you may be working on to advance social progress.
Are you a writer in any of those fields? Are you looking for that extra boost to ensure that your writing is of the highest professional quality? Do you need to reach a broader, multilingual audience to spread your ideas and move your cause forward? Look no further! Check out my Services page to see how I can help you.
