I was raised in the UK, with a B.A. in Medical Sciences and Philosophy from Cambridge University, and an M.A. in Continental Philosophy from Warwick University, as well as a fine arts degree from Beit Berel college in Israel. I am widely read in both the arts and sciences and have been a writer of short stories, novels and poetry for many years. Today, I am also part of a Buddhist community where I live in South-West France. 

Throughout my professional career I have been both a teacher of English for academic purposes and a translator of many different kinds of texts including legal, marketing and communications, social sciences, science-based, medical, holistic, mystical, literature and poetry. I am fluent in French, Spanish and Hebrew and translate from these languages to English, my native tongue.
