Lauren Burkinshaw, Language and Communication Specialist

English Translator and Language Specialist with a Skill for Crafting Excellent Texts

I'm a passionate translation and language service provider hailing from the UK, with a wealth of experience under my belt. After growing up in Yorkshire and studying at the University of London, I've had the privilege of calling France, Mexico, Spain, and now Finland my home. This journey has shaped my international mindset, honed my communication skills and fostered a cultural awareness that I bring to bear in every project.


I translate from Spanish, French and Catalan into English and I also offer English proofreading and content creation. I specialise in corporate communication, marketing,  travel, the outdoors, food and international development. 

 

Equipped with a master's degree in Translation and extensive professional experience, I deliver excellent services adapted to each project. Contact me today to discover how I can assist you with your projects.
