Profile

I am a Lecturer in Chinese Interpreting and Business Interpreting in the Centre for Translation, Interpreting & Localisation Studies (CTILS), School of Languages, Cultures and Societies at the University of Leeds.

Alongside my academic role, I have over ten years of experience as a conference interpreter working between Chinese and English.

Prior to taking this position, I taught interpreting, translation and English in a university in Shanghai, China.
