About
🧑🎓 I am studying Specialized Translation at Inalco with the French-English-Russian language combination. 🇷🇺🪆 Although my first love is Russian literature and its complexity, I decided to dedicate myself to translation. My attention to detail honed by training with professional translators and my passion for the text stimulated by my more literary and cultural academic background allow me great versatility, while remaining efficient and fair. 🔎 About me... I am curious, passionate about culture in all its forms, a great reader of fiction as well as non-fiction, a bit of a cook, I liven up my daily life with volunteer missions in the organization of cultural events and by doing administrative help in associations. 👨💻 I've finally decided to start freelance translation in 2020, and did some translation and proofreading. It was impossible for me to wait until graduation to take my first steps in professional translation... I am looking for more freelance work, so don't hesitate to call on me for your projects. 👔 I am looking for an internship as a translator in one of the following translation fields: audio-visual, legal, institutional, culture or tourism. - Good communication and interpersonal skills - Taste for writing content, creative or informative - Thoroughness and meticulousness in processing and managing data - Careful, versatile and domain-specific stylistics - Expertise in Russian and English-speaking cultures - Trained in Trados, Wordfast, MemoQ, Aegisub, Subtitles Edit and the Office suite 💼 During my professional and academic career, I subtitled for the association Projet Russe in Lyon for a short film festival, for the Inalco and the FICA (Festival International des Cinémas d'Asie), and I supervised the localization of the international websites of Le Monde Diplomatique.
