About

Passionate lover of written and spoken language with 8 years experience of living in Spain, teaching and writing in my native tongue. With a BA Honours degree in English with Modern Foreign Languages, my skill set covers high written precision and accuracy, lexical variety as well as the ability to interpret nuances of meaning and multilingual translation. Professional experience includes teaching, export management/ marketing and journalism/editing and my long term dream is to consolidate all acquired written and practical skills to create my own writing business with published book. I have creativity and drive and am open to opportunities the world has to offer.
