Bio
My education is good including Chemistry and Zoology 'A'-level courses as well as English and French ones. My degree is in English language and literature and in modern French language and culture. Postgraduate diploma modules included critique of others' translations, linguisitics, translation both ways, using the language pair English and French and computer-assisted translation.

Usually I translate from French into English. I've done translation of newspaper and magazine articles, literature and other general texts but mainly scientific and medical translations. I have a published book of biological research translations and would like to do another scientific book. I also work on official documents such a certificates and academic transcripts.

I have also translated two plays for the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School but I particularly welcome medical and scientific research.

I work from home and have all the necessary equipment, PC, scanner, a telephone and email address. I have many reference books,including modern dictionaries, and French contacts.

Here, in Bristol, I have the use of the university library too.

I aim to make my translations as accurate as possible and have always delivered translations to deadline.
