I am a qualified and experienced freelance translator and conference interpreter. I have translated several million words over the last 25 years, and interpreted in a variety of settings requiring conference and simultaneous interpreting for a range of high profile public and corporate customers. I am a trainer of interpreters and DPSI teacher, having published several books on the topic, including a Glossary of Scottish Legal Terms for Public Service Interpreters. I previously worked as a senior manager in the translation industry, where I personally advised a number of public organisations in the U.K., such as the Scottish Courts Service, Police Scotland, Scottish Government and Chartered Institute of Linguists. I am also currently an approved translator for the European Commission.
