CAD/NRPSI listed, EU & UN accredited interpreter.

After 3 years' in the UK insurance industry, my language skills were acquired during fifteen years in international logistics. I have worked mainly in the following countries:

Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia (Kosovo)
Chechnya, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan
Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Chad, Haiti
Angola, Mozambique

This 'hands on' linguistic knowledge was then consolidated by studies in interpreting and translation in London.
I am currently a freelance interpreter/translator with professional domicile in Vienna, while continuing to work intermittently as an international logistics consultant, mainly in relation to large-scale disasters.
