Here is my story:

After twenty-two years in mainland Europe, I eventually returned to the UK with Romanian husband and tri-lingual child in tow. Having got my husband’s home improvement business established and my daughter settled into the British school system, my thoughts turned to my own professional future. While in Italy I had taken courses in creative writing and journalism, as well as writing articles for a currency exchange company and maintaining a personal blog. My interests have long lain with languages and language creation, and a career in translation allows me to indulge both.

Having undertaken translation work intermittently for well over 20 years, due to my fluency in other languages, it was finally made official in 2023 with the CIOL DipTrans qualification. In 2024 I attended both Bristol Translates and the BCLT summer school, as well as completing various editing and proofreading courses with the CIEP. Alongside remunerated translation work, I undertake well over 100 hours of CPD every year, including regular language tutoring sessions to ensure all my languages are maintained, translation-related courses and webinars, and networking activities with colleagues in the industry. I have been mentored for medical translation in all four languages by experienced medical translators.
