I translate from French and German into English, and I interpret from French into English (and vice versa) in the public health sector. I am an experienced teacher of French, German and English for Academic Purposes (EAP), having taught in UK Higher Education. My specialist areas of interest include education, arts and culture, food and drink, sustainability, environment, horticulture and tourism. I am an enthusiastic learner of Welsh and I speak a little Italian, too!
