About Me

I would like to propose my services as an experienced freelance translator. I am a native English speaker and translate French and German to English. I specialize in marketing, IT, business and tourism.
I earned my Master’s degree in translation from the Université Catholique de l’Ouest à Angers (France) in 2005. After working for a translation agency as a technical translator/project manager, I set up my own translation business in 2008.
I have experience translating texts in a variety of fields (including marketing, IT, tourism, human resources, video games, mechanical engineering) as well as with transcription, multilingual translation project management and liaison interpreting.
Feel free to contact me if you require any further information. I look forward to working with you.
