A Conference and Business Interpreter and Translator since 2019 with previous experience in business process re-engineering. By virtue of a career spanning 5 years immersed in French language and culture and 10 years in the UK corporate sector, I combine the creative flair of a Marketing graduate with the diligence and quality assurance of a project manager (PRINCE2 Practitioner) and process improvement professional (Six Sigma Green Belt).

Fully qualified linguist:
MSc Interpreting & Translating – Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh
Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI) Scottish Law – CIoL, London
BA (Hons) Marketing with Modern Languages – Strathclyde University, Glasgow

Based in Central Scotland, half way between Glasgow and Edinburgh, I am available for in-person or remote (online) interpreting assignments for a wide variety of sectors. In particular, located just a stone's throw from Forth Green Freeport, I have completed Business Energy Scotland's Green Champion Training and have interpreted climate change topics including CSR, the urban environment, retrofitting, sustainable transport and waste management.

I also translate written materials from French to English, whether you need creative marketing content or accurate, official documents, including certified translations of adminstrative documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, doctor's reports), school and university transcripts, diplomas, etc.
