Born in the UK of an English mother and Spanish
father I later moved to France where I completed my International Baccalaureate
and entered the Conservatoire Supérieure de Musique de Genève, Switzerland. My
musical career has taken me around the world and my translation skills are grounded
in my life experience of different cultures and languages.

My experience is in the fields of sociology,
business, music and general content and I specialise in flamenco. Since flamenco is
considered a culture as well as a musical form, my expertise extends to
history, socio-politics and general knowledge. Since the late 1990s I have
translated books, manuals, treatises, DVD scripts and sleeve notes from Spanish
to English for the Spanish multi-media publishing company RGB Arte Visual S.L,
Madrid and others. I have also translated the sleeve notes for numerous CD
companies including SONIFOLK S.A. Madrid, and written and translated the sleeve
notes for Doberman-Yppan Canada, and GSP productions, U.S.A.

My book Flamenco: all you wanted to know is
available from all good booksellers, published by Mel Bay, USA.

I recently completed my MBA in Translation with the University of Birmingham and currently work with translation agency platforms and private clients on projects including tourism and online commerce.
