About Me
My name is Vanessa McCarthy, and I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the little things such as tone, wording, and how a sentence feels. That love for language led me to complete my bachelor’s degree in Translation at the Université de Moncton in 2021.
For four years, I worked as a translator in the utilities industry, gaining experience in technical and corporate communications. Today, I’m exploring freelancing, helping clients bridge the gap between French and English with accuracy and care. I approach every project with curiosity and a commitment to getting it right because I know how much the right words matter.
Based in Grand Falls, NB, I spend my free time crocheting, painting, and exploring the outdoors. That same patience and eye for detail is what I bring to every translation project.

Documentation and Research
I conduct thorough documentation and research to ensure terminology is accurate, using tools such as MemoQ, translation software, government linguistic resources, glossaries, dictionaries, style guides, and other reference materials.
Marketing and Social Media Translation
I translate marketing and social media content to accurately represent your brand and maintain your company’s tone, ensuring your message connects clearly with your audience.
Health and Safety Translation
I provide accurate translations of health and safety materials to ensure clear communication and compliance with regulatory standards.
