" Robert is an extremely reliable team player, willing to take on any assignment and deliver them to the (often tight) deadlines agreed. While working at the UN, he familiarized himself very quickly with the editorial rules and conventions of the Organization and worked hard to develop his understanding of its core subject matters through research and background reading. His good eye for detail in pre-translation and post-editing work were particularly valuable. He always shows professionalism in incorporating multiple versions of the source language text and copes well with the pressure of fast turnarounds. " Sally Shaw, Chief of the English Unit at the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (UNECLAC)
"Rob always works hard to meet qualitative and quantitative workload standards. He develops good relationships with members of the team and makes sure to keep revisers informed of how things stand with his work. His work is highly rated in reviser evaluations and he achieves a good productivity rate." Nicole Maguire, Chief of the English Translation Section at the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG)
"We were fortunate enough to have Rob come and give our Upper School pupils (10-13 year old, boys and girls) a lecture. It was incredibly well received by our pupils and staff. Rob engaged with the pupils brilliantly and the presentation was pitched at just the right level, involving some pupil participation. The presentation was about Rob's journey through education and how he got to where he is now. His presentation will have made a positive impact and a genuine difference in encouraging our pupils to pursue their language studies, as well as providing some career advice." David Turpin, Head of Upper School at Thomas's Battersea
"We were delighted to be able to welcome Rob to UCS for a Careers in Languages event. Rob spoke passionately and informatively about his life and work in languages and pupils were enthralled at the range of work that he has completed and at the number of football stars that he has come into contact with or worked for. Rob struck just the right note with the pupils and I can wholeheartedly recommend him for similar talks and seminars. " Thomas Underwood, Head of Modern Languages at University College School
