Anna Davis did not take the most obvious route to join Atlas Translations.
She started her career as a children’s nurse before leaving hospital-based nursing to obtain a degree in Public Health. After that, she worked in Manchester as a health visitor for several years. After taking a career break to raise her four children, Anna returned to work in a different field and joined the Atlas team in 2016.
Anna says it is the longest she has worked in one job, citing the people as the biggest pulling factor. Part of her love of nursing and health visiting was working with wonderful (and very funny) colleagues. Atlas Translations has provided the same environment where the team is so much fun that it doesn’t feel like work.
Anna Davis – Does What Needs to be Done
Anna ensures that our very talented and hard-working linguists are paid promptly, understanding that prompt payment is a pretty big deal for freelancers. She is also responsible for sending the invoices to our clients so that Atlas is also paid promptly. In short, she keeps the cogs in motion.
Atlas pooch Basil joins her at work daily. You may occasionally have the pleasure of hearing him on the phone. He likes to yawn loudly in the background, sounding a bit like a dinosaur—Basilosaurus.
In her spare time, Anna runs about five times a week, although she argues that ‘run’ is a bit of a generous description. As a recent convert to “Zone 2 running” (very slow running in layman’s terms), she and Basil cover some distance in the Hertfordshire countryside.
Anna also owns a spin bike, which she uses daily, but only as a clothes-airer. Having four children and unpredictable weather means getting creative with drying clothes.
Bra Bin
Thanks to Anna, we have established a permanent Bra Bin that is regularly filled.
Raising money for a great charity, Against Breast Cancer, the Bra Bin is currently located at 6 Upper Dagnall St, St Albans AL3 5EA, UK, inside Gwendolen Lingerie & Swimwear.
