Olivia is Translations Editor at Time Out, helping our English language readership access the fantastic work written by her Spanish, French and Portuguese colleagues.
When she returned to the UK after a year studying in Chile, she realised she wasn’t prepared to brave another winter in Blighty, and moved to Madrid. There, she worked as an English teacher and translator, whilst spending her downtime drinking vermouth, eating boquerones and deciding that she was firmly on team tortilla con cebolla.
After a few years, she moved back to her hometown of Glasgow, where she worked in journalism and PR and got her master’s degree in Translation Studies. Now London-based, you’ll catch her desperately searching for a place that sells tattie scones and trying to convince anyone she meets that Tennents is actually decent lager.
