Highly experienced in many areas, my particular strength is working from BSL to spoken English. I have worked extensively in domains such as mental health, the media, legal and academia. I studied BSL interpreting at Bristol University, qualifying in 1995 and gaining my full professional status (RSLI) in 1996. I also hold an A-level in English Language/Literature and a Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA). I am often content to travel nationally and internationally, depending on the nature of the booking. I was awarded a Fellowship of ASLI (FASLI) in 2013 for services to my profession. I have previously taught interpreting students at City Lit, London, and been a mentor to novice interpreters. I co-edited the ASLI best practice guidelines for interpreting in legal settings: https://zakon.co.uk/admin/resources/downloads/asli-best-practice-for-bsl-interpreting-in-legal-settings.pdf
