Translation is not just about converting words from one language to another. It is also about conveying a message, a tone and a certain approach to a given topic from one culture to another. As every text is unique, it is also about understanding the specificity of each project in order to perfectly meet the needs of every client.

I can expertly translate both English and Spanish to my native French. I work as a native translator, copywriter and editor specializing in Marketing and Communications, in the fields of HR, Media, Tourism, Fashion, Food and Beverage, and Retail. I provide translations and texts of the hightest quality by adopting the best practices in the industry. If you're looking for a proactive collaborator whose work will have a real impact on the quality of your projects, please contact me!

I have over 10 years experience in the translation industry. After graduating (ISIT in 2004 + ISTI in 2006), I worked in publishing as an editorial assistant (Éditions Complexe, 2005-2006) and as a literary translator. In 2007, I traveled to Berlin where I worked for 6 months as a project manager for Linklift, a SEO company. I also spent 2 years travelling in Australia (2010-2012) before returning to Europe to specialize in Marketing & Communications and to work in collaboration with international agencies (Transperfect, CRAFT). My travelling and work experience has not only greatly enriched my understanding of my practice as a translator, it has given me the ability to understand the "upstream" and "downstream" requirements of a project and to deliver excellent work.
