Conor in a few words
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.

I worked closely alongside Conor throughout the entirety of the Interpreting and Translating MA at the University of Bath. Conor is reliable, professional and personable, with an impressive work ethic and solid time management skills. His affable personality makes him very easy to work with. In addition, his unique experiences in foreign countries, combined with his solid academic foundation, allow him to provide top-quality language services. I would recommend Conor unreservedly as a translator/interpreter.
