Lorie Ann Halliday

Hi, I'm Lorie Halliday, a professional Filipino interpreter and translator, and passionate about languages and linguistics. I capture nuances in dialogue between Filipino (Tagalog) and English, drawing on two decades of deep engagement with these languages and with the people and cultures that shape them.

I offer professional interpreting services between English and Filipino (Tagalog), and I also speak Cebuano (Bisaya). I provide document translation services from English into Filipino (Tagalog) and Cebuano (Bisaya), with particular attention to nuance, meaning and context.

Based in the United Kingdom, I am registered with the National Register of Public Service Interpreters and a full member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, verifiable via CIOL Member Check. 

I hold a Level 6 Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI) Law, a Master of Arts in International Journalism Studies and a Bachelor of Arts in English.

With an Enhanced DBS certificate, I am committed to delivering clear, accurate, and culturally sensitive communication, even in highly confidential or complex settings.

My work reflects a balance of linguistic precision and cross-cultural insight, with extensive experience teaching Business English, alongside content writing and copy-editing for a range of industries. 

My favourite fields of language expertise include syntax and semantics in theoretical linguistics, alongside discourse analysis in applied linguistics.

Over the past two decades, I have worked across diverse sectors, including journalism, UK charity leadership and governance, marketing, digital communication, community organising, and advocacy.

I am also a member of the Linguistic Society of the Philippines, a premier linguistics organisation established in 1969 advancing the scientific study of language, including research on language in the Philippine context.
