About

I am an English-French translator and proofreader, multidisciplinary artist and artistic director with more than 10 years experience in the creative industries. Throughout my career I have been based in Paris, London and Lisbon. If you need a translator or a proofreader who pays extra attention to detail, has great time management skills and is overall reliable and pleasant to work with, I am the person you are looking for.   I studied French and Anglo-Saxon Law at the reputable Université Paris X Nanterre (Paris) followed by a degree in Art & Design from the world-renowned University of the Arts London (UAL).   My 10 years in academia allowed me to attain an expertise in both French and English (US & UK) and throughout my professional years, I have engaged in translating corporate and marketing material for the brands, organizations and cultural institutions I have worked with on a wide variety of topics. My dexterity with language has meant I have often been asked to contribute to name creative proposals presented to clients, produce copy for social media and websites, proofread or review corporate information targeting key stakeholders.  I have received only positive feedback on my various assignments and I am looking forward to working together!
