Ms Josephine Murray BA(Hons) MCIL |
I’ve always loved foreign languages and have spent summer holidays travelling around Europe since I was tiny. I fell in love with Paris during a wonderful few weeks working as an au pair, the summer after A Levels, so when I had the opportunity to spend a year abroad during my BA in English and French at Royal Holloway, University of London I decided to study French literature at l’Université de Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV). |

Miss Eva TUNEZ SALVADOR BA ACIL |
Originally from Almería (Spain) and currently living in Cheltenham, I moved to the UK in 2008 after graduating from a degree in Translation and Interpreting. Here, I have worked on a variety of roles across the country, mainly at translation companies of different sizes. In 2014, I set up Genuine Translations, where I act both as an English-Spanish sworn and marketing translator and an agency, working with a fantastic team of freelance translators. I am passionate about linguistic and cultural differences and collaboration around the world and I’m really pleased to be part of the CIOL Gloucestershire Network. |
