About me

Westminster Language Services - I was trained as a bilingual assistant and continue to work in the Education Department since 2001, supporting refugee students' studies and integration in school life. I have a versatile role ranging from straightforward interpretation/translation during lessons and meetings with parents, to monitoring target students' progress and carrying out and evaluating special school programmes for EAL pupils.

I have also interpreted for other public sectors, including health and social services (Child Protection conferences, meetings between parents and agencies etc).

I have translated brochures and leaflets relating mainly to education, some of which appear on the council's website, as well as letters to individuals from different London council departments.

MantraLingua publishers - I proofread the Albanian translations of children's bilingual books and have contributed a great deal in improving the quality of the translations. I particularly love working with poetry and rhymes.

I have excellent knowledge of Albanian grammar and phraseology, and always take care in producing translations that are sound in all aspects.
