Bio

I currently translate for several French universities, undertake subtitling missions for TV5 Monde and translations missions for the US agency, Protranslating. The Toulouse Business School, a highly respected business and management school in France, has also used my services regularly. TBS's head of international communications, Cinta Pluma, said:

"We have been working with Laura Haydon for more than 15 months and during all this time we have received an excellent service. As we are a Business School, our content is mainly related to programs and academic research. Miss Haydon provides an excellent translation service for academic articles (management and strategy fields, mainly) and her writing skills are essential for the proofreading and editing missions she carries out for us. She is responsive, meets deadlines and provides quality work.

As well as business and marketing, I also specialise in history and heritage, arts and culture, environment, social affairs, religious affairs, politics, economics, humanitarian and development issues, patents, and science.

I am a former journalist whose work has featured on the BBC, Deutsche Welle, Radio Netherlands, MSNBC.com, Radio Telefis Eireann and The Guardian. My fields were news and current affairs, religious affairs, social affairs, arts and culture, and science. I have also worked as a bilingual journalist for Swiss Radio International (now Swissinfo) and World Radio Switzerland.

I have worked as a bilingual editor for Larousse French-English dictionaries, and a former guide and translator for Les Musées et Monuments de la Ville d'Avignon. My first job after competing my BA Hons in Linguistics and French was as a proofreader of industrial patents in English, French and German.
