Name: Suzanne Reynolds

 

I’ve studied language from a young age – from Scots and English to German and French, and, after working and travelling in Europe, I decided to study Chinese at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London at the age of 24. I’m a qualified, professional translator, a very determined and highly organised individual with a strong work ethic; I have a proven ability to meet client needs. I’m a socially concerned individual with more than 3 years volunteer experience, and 2.5 years of professional work experience. I will be embarking on a 3 year Life Sciences translation project within the next few weeks with one of my long-term customers and this will involve specialism in one or more Life Science therapeutic areas.
