I am a native English speaker with an MA in Translating and Interpreting from the University of Bradford, and am an Associate Member of the Institute of Translators and Interpreters (ITI).

I graduated from St Andrews in 1997, and went from there to Bradford in the north of England to do my Masters Degree.

After finishing in Bradford, I returned to the Black Sea, this time to Sochi, Russia. From there, I headed out to Almaty in Kazakhstan, where I spent the next two years working as the in-house translator for Ernst & Young.

I moved from Almaty to Luxembourg in May 2001 and am now based there as a freelance translator.

Since moving to Luxembourg, my main client has been the CVCE, a State-funded organisation that developed, maintains and produces content for a digital library on European Integration (www.ena.lu). I translate a variety of texts for this institution, including articles from the Soviet press, giving the Soviet point of view of the EU from 1945 onwards. I also take care of their in-house technical documentation from French into English as I'm a bit of a geek in my spare time and maintain a keen interest in web-based and other technologies. I am also the WordFast trainer and administrator for the institution.

Other freelance clients include the European Court of Human Rights, Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, NAMSA, the National Museum of History and Art (www.mnha.lu) in Luxembourg and BBi, an international translation agency (www.bbi.eu).

I recently completed the translation of a book on the history of archaeology in Russia, entitled Palaeolithic Studies in Russia: Past, Present and Future.

I have a strong interest in Web 2.0 technologies and have dabbled in some HTML and CSS for my own web sites:

I also run and maintain a PHB BB discussion forum for guitar players interested in Celtic music:
