I am a translator of fiction and non-fiction texts from Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan into English. 

My literary work includes co-translating Paradise and Other Hells by José Eduardo Agualusa and translating a children’s adaptation of The Three Musketeers. I have also translated children’s books by Rocio Bonilla, Oriol Canosa and Jacobo Feijóo. Other published work includes short fiction by Nara Vidal, Ana Cristina Silva, Clodie Vasli, Cuti, Decio Zylbersztajn, Esmeralda Ribeiro, Gabriela Ruivo, Geni Guimarães, Henrique Rodrigues, Patrícia Alves Santos Oliveira and Verônica de Souza Santos.

I have collaborated with publishers such as UCL Press, Ebury Press, Flipped Eye, Dorling Kindersley, Bromera, Algar Editorial, Zero a Oito and Relógio d’Água.

My translations have also appeared in magazines and journals such as Latin American Literature Today, Your Impossible Voice, The Riveter, Qorpus and Art in Translation.

Additionally, I have translated for academic and cultural institutions, such as UCL, the University of the Basque Country (EHU/UPV), the Portuguese National Pantheon and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. 

I also have experience in sports, journalistic and corporate translation, for clients such as MARCA and LALIGA. 

 

Born in Glasgow, I studied Portuguese and English Literature at the University of Edinburgh. I have also lived in Sussex, Lisbon, Coimbra, Logroño, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Norwich, where I completed an MA in Literary Translation at the University of East Anglia.
