Bio

For the past eight years, I have worked as a translator,
interpreter (pairs: FR/ES/RU>EN and EN><FR) and editor full-time. 
I am a UK national based in Martel, France
and was educated in France, Spain, the UK, Russia and Czechia. 
I have worked in France, Spain, Chile, the
UK and ROI as a linguist and language teacher.

I work regularly for several well-known
agencies and for independent clients, specialising in legal, media and PR
projects.

I have worked in linguistic quality
management at two city law firms in London (including at Herbert Smith
Freehills, in 2016-2017). I also worked in higher education marketing (using
French, Spanish and Russian on a daily basis) for Bloomberg Institute,
Bloomberg L.P. in 2013-2014, and have taught Spanish and French at secondary-school
level (Wycombe Abbey School, 2011-2012).

Drawing on four years' experience as a linguist
and caseworker in the humanitarian sector (with VE Global, the British Red
Cross International Family Tracing and Refugees Service, and with Detention
Action (UK)), I also have a keen interest in humanitarian and social sciences
projects.

My typical daily capacity is 5,000 words
for translation projects. I have licences for SDL Trados and MemoQ.

IoL Dip Trans in Spanish: Social Sciences and General papers, 2015

BA Hons Modern Languages with Spanish, Russian and Czech, (three distinctions, Nicholas Round prize in
interpreting), University of Sheffield, 2009

IoL Metropolitan Police Interpreters' Test in French 2012

French Baccalaureate (Série L), Lycée français de Malaga, 2005
