About Conor
MA Interpreting and Translating (French and Spanish) graduate from the University of Bath. I am currently looking for opportunities to gain more experience in the translation industry and build my ongoing portfolio of work. I am an active member of two professional associations - the ITI (Institute of Translation and Interpreting) and CIOL (Chartered Institute of Linguists - and am actively working towards specialisms in sports translation and food and drink-related translation. I have recently been collaborating with the NGOs Translators Without Borders and ATD Quart Monde, providing my translation services for a good cause. Now, however, my goal is to build my own professional clientele at Conor Dunne Language Services.
