I am Lisa Simpson, a translator, editor & project manager working in English, French, Portuguese & Spanish. I specialise in climate change, global development, human rights, migration and public health.
I was brought up speaking Portuguese in Brazil and I learnt French, Spanish and Russian at school and then at university with periods of study in Minsk, Kyiv and Salamanca.
I began my career in London in 1990 and spent eight years managing shipping and finance teams in companies trading with the former Soviet Union. I started my own business as an independent language & communications specialist in 1998, managing projects for a global client base.

I hold the Diploma in Translation from the Chartered Institute of Linguists and have completed a number of stringent translation tests for international organisations and European government bodies.
After 10 years living in France, I returned to the UK in 2010 and am currently based in Devon.
