I am a native English speaker with a strong professional background in accountancy, mathematics and statistics, and international development. I hold a Maitrise degree from the University of Caen (France) with Mention Tres-bien (16/20) and the Institute of Linguists Diploma in Translation (2001, French to English) as well as a BSc from the University of Nottingham, a Masters from the Open University and a PhD from the University of Cambridge.

In addition to the three specialisms of accountancy, mathematics and international development I would be interested in opportunities for specialist work or collaboration drawing on my expertise early modern history, in particular religious history, and my skills in working with early modern French, including manuscript sources.
