Other points of interest:
Music studies from the age of four to seventeen.
I play the recorder, flute and piano, was a member of the College of Music in Dublin, Rathfarnham Concert Band in Dublin, and studied Music for my Leaving Certificate. As a music student, I did Grade VIII Flute, Piano and Theory studies, and also taught the flute in the Rathfarnham Concert Band. I can read and compose music, and am familiar and understand all types of music terms.

Available for interpretation in the whole Catalunya region.

I have travelled quite a lot, worked for two summers in the United States and have the advantage of being able to translate into both UK and USA English as I am Irish and am therefore familiar with both.

I consider my work to be precise and efficient, and I am confident in my translations. Please do not hesitate to get in contact with me if you are looking for someone with great language abilities who takes complete pride in her work!
