Bio

My experience with Spanish goes back to 1990 when I moved to Madrid to work as an English teacher. I stayed there for three years and later spent time in Mexico and Argentina, broadening my understanding of the Spanish-speaking world and the variations in its language. Although now based in Edinburgh I continue to have close contact with the language through Spanish radio which I listen to on a daily basis.

My writing skills in English have been developed through my employment as a social researcher at the Henley Centre and later through working as a business researcher at Edinburgh University. I am currently an Assoicate with the Institute for Japanese and European Technology Studies (JETS) at Edinburgh University.

Some of the publications that I completed in the fields of business, telecoms and the Internet, while working at Edinburgh University, can be seen here:

I have also taught English for Academic Purposes at various universities giving me a good insight into correct English usage.

In 2009 I started working as a volunteer translator for www.streetfootballworld.org. More recently I have also been collaborating with The Prisma, a bilingual on-line newspaper (www.theprisma.co.uk). In this role the translations tend to be between 1,000 - 2,000 words and normally have to be delivered within 24 hours. So I am very used to meeting deadlines.

As a long time listener to the Spanish radio programme "Gente Despierta" I was happy to help out one of its regular contributors, Julio Basulto, at the start of 2018, by translating one of his Ted Talks relating to the health implications of drinking alcohol. The translation can be seen via the following link and is reproduced here on my profile.
