Bio

Introduction

For the last twenty years, I have been transforming novels,
video games, and apps from French into English (US/UK) with unparalleled
finesse. Meticulously ensuring each translation is polished to perfection, I am
dedicated to conveying the intended message flawlessly.

Expertise

I blend readability with fidelity, providing a harmonious
balance in my translations. Conceptual precision is my forte, particularly when
navigating the realms of symbolism, puns, and metaphors. With an innate
curiosity for idioms and plays-on-words, I delve into the intricacies of a text
to craft translations that resonate authentically in the target language.
Collaborating closely with my clients and authors, I address uncertainties and
welcome requests for edits, constructing client-focused style guides and
providing invaluable feedback.
