Twickenham, Middlesex
I was born in the Republic of Ireland but chose to leave in 1980 to seek work abroad and to increase my knowledge of German, which I had begun to study before leaving Ireland. Living abroad was a wonderful experience, being immersed in another culture and language, and I feel it has made me a much more rounded individual.

Audio Typist/Transcriber Of Verbatim Telephone Medical Interviews
Fast, accurate transcription of various work, particularly medical or technical assignments. Is familiar with various cultures/accents, particularly western Europe and the Nordic countries.
I am used to fairly tight deadlines and can produce work quickly and accurately.
Proofreader
I am an excellent audio typist who can produce work quickly and accurately. Anyone wanting work transcribed should contact me! Part-time work, say 2 days a week, would suit me very well at the moment.
Knowledge Of Latin
I studied Latin at secondary level (12-17 years old) and because of this knowledge I have found it very useful in my current part-time work at a medical transcriptionist.
Great Communicator, Verbal And Written
I had a very thorough secondary education and also studied part-time with ILEX, The Institute of Legal Executives.
In my various roles over the years, I learned to communicate with people at all levels, from the post room staff to the CEO, so speaking to anyone isn't a problem for me. One former boss, a hospital manager, hated letter-writing so gave me the bare bones to work with and produce the result.
Able To Deal With Staff At All Levels
I am an excellent communicator and was brought up with the philosophy "speak to a duke or a dustman in the same way" - everybody deserves respect, whatever their role, and should be treated accordingly.
EFL (English As A Foreign Language) Teacher
Other cultures fascinate me, particularly Japan, and each culture has a different approach to learning English. The Japanese revere management and always want to excel in their language classes as it will make them better employees.
