I am an Associate Professor in Translation Studies at the University of Leeds, where I am also currently taking on the role LCS Director of International Activities. In addition to my university roles, I am the Vice-President of the European Society for Translation Studies, an associate editor of Target: International Journal of Translation Studies, the co-lead of the Subtitling Audiences Network, co-editor of the Translation, Interpreting and Mediation series at Leuven University Press and co-organiser of the webinar series Don’t Captionise Me!

This has led me to work at the intersection of translation studies and multimodality, but also to work even more closely with film directors and distributors, broadcasters, cinema venues and subtitling companies and freelancers.
