Bio

I am a French Canadian translator from English to French and French to English from Montreal QC, and graduate of a Bachelor degree in French Studies: translation English to French, and English Literature at Concordia University. For the past four years, and during my university studies, I have worked for York University in Toronto providing translation services to the History department. Additionally, I worked as a translator for the Auroville Language Laboratory in South-India, as well as for the United Nations. More recently, I have also volunteered for Kiva through their translation program from French to English. I also have built a strong relationship with various clietns over the years. I also have experience and skills in tutoring and proofreading in French through ten years traveling in English and French countries.  I am an extremely hard-working, adaptable and mature worker, who enjoys working in a team as well as autonomously. With a high intellectual curiosity and a sense of duty, I know I possess the personality and the skills to embark on a career in translation.
