About Me

my background

My journey into web development wasn’t traditional. I started with a passion for languages, earning an MA(Hons) from St Andrews University. This led to incredible experiences including three months in Gorbachev’s Russia during the historic transition to Yeltsin’s era, and traveling through Uzbekistan to the stunning city of Samarkand. These experiences taught me how to adapt, communicate across cultures, and solve problems creatively.

I completed my MA in translation (Spanish and Russian) at Leeds University in between working at the University of Cambridge’s Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages. A career change took me to Seville for English language teaching training, which eventually brought me to Crete, Greece, where I began working as a virtual assistant while teaching English and learning Greek.

It was here that I discovered my aptitude for technology. I taught myself web development, mastering HTML, CSS, and WordPress – treating these programming languages just like the human languages I’d always loved learning. What started as curiosity became expertise, and I found myself helping businesses establish their online presence.

This unique combination of language skills, cultural adaptability, and technical knowledge gives me a distinct advantage in understanding what businesses need online. I know firsthand the challenges of setting up and running a business, which is why I’m passionate about making the technical side simple for my clients.
