Bio

I am a French native speaker, living in the UK and raising four multilingual children whilst working as a freelance translator/interpreter.

I grew up with a strong fascination for the German language and studied it in fact for 13 years. It was on one of my many trips to Germany that I met my future husband who dragged me to his home country after he proposed. England. The funny part of that story is that I could barely speak English when we first met. Two years later, I took on further studies and graduated with a MA in translation and interpreting from Surrey University. One of the greatest and most fulfilling challenges of my linguistic life. That year, I also added Portuguese in my portfolio of languages.


So now you know a little bit more about me, here are the services I offer :

• Services: translation, interpreting (consecutive, dialogue, simultaneous), review, proofreading, transcreation, localisation, subtitling and event planning.

• Specialisation: Religion / International Organisation: 13 years of translation and interpreting experience through various volunteering opportunities and freelance work for Christian non-profit organisations, churches and international conferences (Ex: OM or Hillsong)

• Business / Marketing: 13 years of translation experience of material content related to the launch and promotion of marketing campaigns/products including website localization, press releases, legal notices, research studies and promotional video subtitling and voice-over.

• Psychometrics: 5 years of translating for the Myers-Briggs Company and a certified practitioner of the MBTI. Materials translated: training manuals, website, case studies, online assessment platform, reports, marketing products, etc.

• Financial / Insurance: 3 years of professional experience working in Home and Health Insurance (2010 to 2013) as well as 3 years of financial and corporate studies (See my BA core studies and my MA Dissertation.)

• Medical: Interpreting for the NHS in various settings (physiotherapy, GP appointment, mental health facility) and translation of numerous pharmaceutical brochures.
