I hold a BA degree in applied languages (French and German) and an MA in creative writing. Originally from Ireland, I lived and worked in several countries before settling in France where I have been for nearly 20 years, gradually moving southwards from Paris to Nantes to Plaisance du Gers to Pau. My life and work evolve around words – writing, translating and proofreading – and I wouldn't have it any other way.
