Translation profile:

My specialist areas are Art, Literature, Culture, Travel and Tourism, Teaching and Computer Game Localisation. I have been lucky enough to live and work abroad extensively and have worked in a variety of fields in the Arts including the theatre and language teaching. I enjoy being able to draw from my experiences in my other areas of interests whilst using my language skills in translation.

After graduating in 2005 I worked as a freelancer translating and interpreting before joining a French company for 4 years. I have recently returned to the UK and work once more on a freelance basis.

Recent projects include:
