A childhood passion for learning languages led me to study French and Spanish throughout high school and eventually pursue a career in translation. This culminated in me earning my Master of Arts degree in translation and interpreting from Heriot-Watt University in May of 2020.
In July of that same year, I took a leap of faith and moved to Barcelona, where I started an internship as an in-house English translator and proofreader at Datawords.
During my time at this company, I developed a keen eye for detail while deepening my understanding of the English language. A couple of months in, I started taking on copywriting projects and won several bids to write copy for well-known fashion and cosmetics brands.
After the first year, my contract renewal came with a title change: In-House Translator and Copywriter.
Having spent just over a year and a half at Datawords, I decided to accept a new job as English Department Manager at Audioprojects, also based in Barcelona, where I was able to continue translating and proofreading all while developing a whole new range of skills over the seven months I worked there.
After two years in Barcelona and many years of working on freelance projects in my spare time, I decided it was time to move back to Scotland to pursue freelancing full-time. I now work on a huge variety of projects for clients based all over the globe.
