ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Having lived on four continents and travelled extensively has enriched my background and given it a very international feel. This experience has given me an insight into different cultures and ways of life and this enables me to imbue a better cultural understanding and sensitivity into many areas of my translation work.
I co-authored and translated ‘3000 Años de Cocina Española’ and have a huge interest in the history of food and ingredients as well as the myriad ways they can be transformed. I have a diploma in graphic design from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (Singapore) and a mini Master’s degree in jewellery design from the IED in Madrid.
