Hello!
I'm Edward, I'm a volunteer translator with 9 months experience. I'm from the UK. I studied History and French at uni and have lived and studied in France. I have worked in a variety of different education settings, from schools to museums. I also speak Italian.
I'm very happy to be part of the Global Voices Lingua team, and can't wait to get started!
