Qualifications
I learnt Dutch at university, gaining the Cambridge University certificate and diploma in 2002 and 2003 respectively, alongside my studies in Classics and linguistics. I subsequently spent four years living in the Netherlands, studying for my PhD in Linguistics at Utrecht University. During this time I attended literary translation courses and seminars organised by the Dutch Foundation for Literature, who added me to their list of approved translators in 2007. I am a Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists and the Translators Association.
