About me

I am a professional opera singer and translator living in Glasgow. I have spent the last 9 years in the U.K. studying singing and gaining several degrees: Master of Opera, MMus (Opera) and a First Class BMus (Hons) degree from Birmingham Conservatoire.
As it is almost impossible to make a full time living in the classical music profession I realised five years ago that I needed a second source of income. The obvious choice for me was translation as my 6 years studying in U.K. universities has meant that I now speak fluent English and have a thorough training in writing academic English. Opera singing and translation also work beautifully well together as both professions require creative use of words.
For the past five years I have slowly grown my translation business and translating experience, and I can now claim to be an experienced and highly appreciated translator. I translate in a wide variety of fields, including journalism, manuals, e-learning, travel, music, customer research etc.
I can also help you subtitle your videos and films.

The translation agencies I work for include: Lionbridge, VistaTEC, Binari Sonari, ASET, SDI, TransCom, Metis Training & Development Ltd, LinguaVox, Quills, Transperfect, Global Languages, Softitler, Language Networks, Edge Translations, Bon Heure Translations, TextAppeal, RSAMD, Amphi Produktion, TransCom and many more
