Qualifications and experience
Before I retired in 2025, I translated from Spanish and Catalan into English and edited for (mostly) academic authors in the humanities and social sciences. I held various positions on MET Council from 2016 to 2024 and I remain involved in MET as a member of the workshop team and the digital clean-up group.
