I work from home in the idyllic surroundings of the Peak District; it’s a real treat to make a living doing what I love with so much greenery right on my doorstep! When I’m not working in the hills, I can be found working with other translators at a coworking space in Manchester.

Outside of translation I enjoy all things creative, whether it’s trying my hand at a new skill like macramé or pottery, or helping to make props at my local theatre. I also have a passion for travel, trying new foods and taking in as much culture as I can along the way.
