Hannah Doyle, Interpreter contributed her memories of Stratford for the 60th Anniversary book, '60 Years A Growing', which was launched in November 2014.
I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2010 with a First Class Honours degree in French and was a recipient of the David Morris Prize for outstanding progress in coursework and exams. In 2011 I was awarded the Entente Cordiale Scholarship from the British Council and French Embassy, an award scheme which funds selected British postgraduate students to study in France for one academic year.
In 2013 I graduated with a Masters degree from the University of Strasbourg, Institut de Traducteurs, d'Interprètes et de Relations Internationales, Language Interpretation and Translation. I have my own translation company and have worked for the European Association for the Defense of Human Rights (AEDH).
