1) IN BRIEF:
I am a very competent all-round translator with excellent resources and extensive general knowledge, a high IQ, and research skills and so I will take on most texts that are not overly technical. My specialist subject areas are legal, business and financial translation.

Diverse cultural mix: I was brought up in Ireland (by English parents) where I studied Irish as well as English, I then studied French in Haute Loire in France from the age of 16 in an Int. Bac. programme, and finally I went to university (studying Eng. Lang. and Lit.) in Scotland. I am now 32.

I have translated over 500,000 words in the last three and a half years (about five novels' worth)!

7) NEWS:
In January 2006 I was appointed as a sworn translator (traducteur assermenté) attached to the Cour d'Appel (Appeals Court) in Dijon, Burgundy, France.

In November 2006 I carried out my first sworn interpreting assignment.

In November 2006 I was involved as an interpreter in a GBP£3m wine estate deal:
"Domaine's the game for Rangers chief Murray as he pours £3m into vineyard in Burgundy
William Lyons - Wine Correspondent
David Murray, the chairman of Rangers Football Club, has dramatically upgraded his wine business with the acquisition of a prestigious vineyard in France's Burgundy region.
The 54-year-old has splashed out more than £3m for Domaine Jessiaume, a vineyard in the village of Santenay at the foot of the prestigious Côte de Beaune wine region in Burgundy." (article continues)
