Bio

Education

I have a BA (Hons) in Modern Languages (French and Spanish), which included an academic year living and studying in Lyon, France. Other qualifications include translation certificates (French-English and Spanish-English), a Community Interpreting Certificate, a Certificate in TESOL and a Certificate in Education and Training.

 

Experience

I began working as a freelance translator and proofreader/editor several years ago and have translated and proofread/edited a variety of document types. I also have experience in community interpreting, English teaching (EFL, ESOL and EAP), fashion and travel copywriting as well as  voice recording short scripts.

In order to maintain and improve my knowledge of the languages that I translate from, I regularly watch films, listen to the radio, read literature and take part in conversational groups in these languages. When possible, I also visit the countries where the languages are spoken. I maintain and develop my knowledge of the subjects that I specialise and work in by reading relevant literature, carrying out internet and paper-based research and taking part in CPD events.

 

Interests

In my free time I enjoy creative activities like art, cooking and baking. I also have a keen interest in yoga, health, holistic therapies, nutrition and food and drink. I therefore particularly welcome any translation projects in these fields.
