Interpreting expertise
|
|
My life experience in different countries, working a wide range of jobs, has always involved a passion for language, empowerment, the arts and the value that diversity brings.
Initially, I studied Modern and Classical Chinese at Cambridge University at MA level; I later went on to train in British Sign Language and Interpreting at the Centre for Deaf Studies, Bristol University.
I have worked as a community interpreter in health, employment, social care and education settings; I specialise as a mental health interpreter in forensic settings, a theatre interpreter for rehearsals and workshops, and a workplace interpreter with Deaf professionals. In addition, I currently interpret for police, courts, tribunals, safeguarding investigations, scientific research, universities, arts events, and LGBTQ+ events.
I have taught both trainee and qualified interpreters, also being a qualified assessor and internal verifier for the NVQ in sign language interpreting. I bring those same skills and experience to my auditing and standards advisor work. Empowerment of Deaf and hearing people requires a good standard of interpreting: I care deeply about maintaining and raising the bar in my profession.
I believe every interpreter should have professional supervision to support their ethical practice, boundaries and mental wellbeing, so I have regular supervision in addition to engaging in mandatory continued professional development.
