Publications

My published literary work includes a co-translation of a book by José Eduardo Agualusa, as well as translating short fiction by Gabriela Ruivo Trindade, Clodie Vasli and Decio Zylbersztajn.

I work on a regular basis for Spanish sports paper MARCA, adapting content for their English language website and sometimes penning original pieces.

Recent work

In 2022 so far, I have translated a Brazilian novel and four Portuguese children’s books. I also edited an anthology of Afro-Brazilian short stories (which included six of my own translations), to be published in 2023 by UCL Press.

More about me

I was born in Glasgow and 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 my MA.

In addition to my translation and related work, I also have over five years’ experience working in education in England and Spain.

I am currently based in Sussex, England.
