I am an experienced translator, editor, writer and teacher.

I specialise in Spanish, Portuguese and Welsh to English translation in all areas of business, finance, economics and marketing. Previous major projects include a UNESCO World Heritage Site bid and BBC current affairs documentaries. I have particular expertise in fintech. I can also translate and edit academic material in any aspect of the social sciences and humanities.

I am currently a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Management at Birkbeck, University of London. In addition, I have over eleven years of experience as a country risk analyst and consultant, specialising in Latin America. For nine years, I was a senior editor at Oxford Analytica. I am the co-author of the textbook Technology Strategy, which is published by Palgrave Macmillan.

I also write regularly on the politics and economics of Latin America for Oxford Analytica and the Economist Intelligence Unit. My writing on Latin American politics and economics has been published in The Guardian, The Independent, New Statesman, The Conversation and other high quality media. In addition, I am interviewed regularly on the region on CNN, the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme, CNBC, Bloomberg, CGTN, Rai News and elsewhere.

I have a PhD and BA first class honours degree in Latin American Studies from the University of Liverpool. My higher education includes extensive study of translation. I also hold a BA in economics from the Open University. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
