I was born and raised in the UK, and after completing school with A-levels in Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry, I decided to spend a year in Zimbabwe as a volunteer teacher. I returned to Manchester to study Physics with Environmental Science and French, with a year studying Physics in Montpellier, France. This was followed by a Master’s in Research in Environmental Science, which concluded with a research project for Thames Water. I then went on to work for five years in the offshore seismic research industry, as a geophysicist for Schlumberger.

Following my move to the Netherlands, I decided to set up my own translation and editing agency. I obtained a degree in translation in the Netherlands and have worked since 2005 as a freelance translator and editor for many different clients and in many different fields.

I am married with two children and live in beautiful Drenthe, in the north of the Netherlands.
