Welcome to MyICV!

I am an interpreter based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I interpret for German, Czech and French, usually for the Council, Inland revenue, Dept for work and pension, sometimes for GPs, prisons, the border agency etc etc. My interests are music (classical and world-music), I sing in 3 choirs, I like walking, swimming (sea or lake), I like children, and I have also worked with the elderly and adults with special needs. I don't know how to upload anything, sorry !!

I currently live and work part-time in Geneva, Switzerland. My mother is Swiss-Romansch and my father from Guinea, West Africa. I grew up in Kansas, USA and studied French at the University of Kansas. I believe that it is our duty as citizens of this planet to help one another. In my opinion, the more fortunate must help the less fortunate. And I strongly believe that by helping one person we help others because our actions inspire the actions of others. I believe we are all connected; I help others, as I would help my own family and loved ones. What I do for someone else has a direct and an indirect affect on me, my family and all of those I come into contact with (or not). I also think we must not judge or preach to others, or force our beliefs on them. Love is unconditional!
