Profile

After graduating in 1997, I left France to study Japanese in Tokyo. I have worked for international groups mainly in Japan and Hong Kong before moving to Spain, which enabled me to develop and maintain a high level of proficiency in three source languages.

Languages and cultural differences are my passion and I've always been a fond reader in various fields, from daily news to litterature or health issues. I have started to regularly handle translations and interpreting assignments in 1998 and became a freelance translator in 2006.

Who do I work for?

My clients, direct or through translation agencies, come from a variery of sectors and include many well-known companies.: bank, insurance, press, textile/fashion, tourism, international organizations (EU, UN), publishers, etc.
