From the technical language in our film to creative wordplay, he found a way to purvey everything into French even when it didn't have exact cultural equivalents abroad. There was one pun in particular for which we'd spent weeks trying to find a translation. Brad quickly came up with a brilliant solution (Trisomique ? C'est chic !)" —Michael McDonald, Broccoli Film Initiative "Brad delivered high-quality, consistent, and client-ready translations for everything from PowerPoint decks to simulation exercise materials to trainee communications. He often provided added value with suggestions for clarity. Given the highly technical content and high standards for training organizers (WHO, US CDC, GAVI, UNICEF) and the quick turnarounds on materials, we truly couldn't have gotten it all done without Brad’s expertise and support." —GAVI, The Vaccine Alliance "Juste parfait, que ce soit en délai ou en qualité." —Samy Daigurande, TEEPTRAK "Brad is the best out there." —Ben Dobson

Skilled educational and translation professional with 12 years of ESL teaching and 11 years of Portuguese, Spanish, and French-to-English translation experience. I am a native English speaker, who is fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and French, and I possess extensive experience translating from these languages to English. My previous translation work includes conducting product description translations for a Brazilian cosmetics company (PT-EN), academic translations for psychology, economics, demography, and history professors (PT-EN and ES-EN), fundraising and informational translations for a Brazilian migration-focused NGO (PT-EN), and a website translation for a French “glide-sharing” startup (FR-EN). I possess extensive ESL teaching experience, most recently as an online ESL teacher for Wall Street English Indonesia, where I have worked since October 2021. Previously, I worked for iTutorGroup, a Taiwanese-based online English school, between April 2018 and April 2022. In addition, I also worked as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Belo Horizonte, Brazil from March to November 2015. Earlier in my career, I also served as an English Teaching Assistant at Lycée Gaspard Monge, a French high school located in Savigny-sur-Orge, France, from October 2013 to May 2014. Additionally, I have worked as a private English teacher/tutor since January 2014, teaching students both online and in-person.

TRANSLATION Human translation from German, French, Spanish, and Italian into English (primary language pair: German-to-English) I offer translation that * captures the meaning, style, and feeling of the original * includes research as needed * is well-written and edited with close attention to detail * sounds idiomatic and natural * specializes in translation into English to ensure the highest quality EDITING Editing services include copy editing, line editing, developmental editing, and proofreading. I have primarily focused on spirituality, memoir, self-help, or some combination thereof, although I am always open to working on any project that benefits the world. Unless requested otherwise, I take a comprehensive approach, often working simultaneously on different aspects of the text. Examples of things I have done include line editing, copy editing, organizing random notes into a coherent whole, and even ghostwriting in the sense of making the text comprehensible. Beyond the mechanics and certain stylistic issues, I am also sensitive to such things as voice, pacing, and flow - the spirit and music of the words and how to best bring this out.
