About Me | A Thoughtful Approach to Language, Built on Experience and Curiosity

From Passion to Profession

How It Started

I didn’t grow up bilingual, but I was always drawn to the idea of learning a language. German was the one I chose to stick with – and it led me to a degree, a year living in Germany, and eventually, to translation.

Living the Language

As part of my degree, I spent a year living in Freiburg im Breisgau, which I later followed up with a month in Berlin for a course in business German. Being immersed in the language and culture day to day helped me build a much deeper understanding – not just of how the language works, but how it’s used in real contexts, by real people.

My Professional Background

Alongside my translation work, I’ve taken on projects as a linguistic analyst – work that involves examining language with a high degree of detail and care. This experience has trained me to notice even the smallest shifts in tone, style and phrasing, which feeds directly into the way I approach translation: with close attention to the choices behind the words, not just the words themselves.

Still Learning: An Endless Source of Fascination

I took up Scottish Gaelic recently – partly out of interest, partly out of a desire to connect more deeply with a language that I’ve been surrounded by in small ways, but never really known. It’s been a reminder of how language reflects identity, and how much there still is to learn, even close to home.
