About Me

Born in Dumfries, Scotland, I have been a freelance translator since finishing my Master's degree in translation at the Institute of Translators, Interpreters and International Relations in Strasbourg. I became interested in languages and translation from a very young age, and decided to pursue this as a career in 2015 when I decided to study a specialist undergraduate translation degree at Aston University in Birmingham.
