I have been a translator in the English Language Division at the European Court of Human Rights, Strasbourg, since 2005. I have also worked at the International Court of Justice and as a court interpreter/translator in Lyon, France. I hold degrees in French studies and in European Union and comparative law. I have lectured and written articles on the right to language assistance in criminal proceedings.
