Bio
Growing up with a multilingual family, I was always fascinated with languages which led me to study French and Russian at the University of Sheffield. I am now studying for a MA Translation (French and Russian) at the University of Bristol.

I recently completed translating "The Crown of Power" by Olga Kryuchkova using the BabelCube platform, which was incredibly rewarding. 

I taught English in Moscow for 2 years to a wide variety of ages, and became CELTA qualified in 2017. I currently work for an international college in the UK, and so my background is mainly in education and ESL. I regularly translate academic transcripts for our Russian-speaking and French-speaking students, as well as proofread documents and write reports and presentations for the company.  

Other than languages, my interests are travelling, reading, writing, fitness and spending time with my pets (1 dog and 5 cats!)
