Qualifications

HELLO

Born and raised in Cornwall, I have always been a very outgoing and adventurous individual and have been lucky enough to be well-travelled from a very young age.

Whilst growing up, I gained more of a passion for travel, culture and adventure along with a strength in languages throughout my studies.

Having completed a BA (Hons) in Applied Languages (both French and Spanish) at the University of Portsmouth in 2012, I started my first job as a Translation Project Manager. I then decided to pursue my chosen career in Translation by carrying out a Master’s degree with the University of Portsmouth as a Distant Learning course, which enabled me to carry out my full time job as a Translation Project Manager alongside my studies. Once I completed the course, I then went on to start up my own freelance translation business.
