Career / Experience

I am a native English speaker, born and raised in the UK. I studied Chemistry (BSc: Honours) at the University of Hull followed by a Masters and then a PhD in Physical Chemistry (thesis title, "Solid-stabilised emulsions and particles at fluid interfaces"). From my doctoral studies I published 4 papers in international scientific journals.
I have lived in Seville, Spain for the last seven years with my Spanish partner. I spent four years as a qualified TEFL teacher before becoming a full-time freelance translator in 2011.

You need a scientific mind to be able to faithfully transfer a technical concept from one language to another. I apply my training and experience as a research scientist to the preparation of thorough and precise translations in the areas of engineering, scientific research, medical, pharmaceutical, petrol and gas, etc.
