Bio
The arts of writing and languages have long been a passion and their practice has become part of my daily routine. I have constantly worked to gain a deeper knowledge in these fields, whether it is with my latest studies - translation, public writing and web writing - or with my experience in France and abroad, as my administrative / marketing jobs have always required to efficiently write all kind of documents in French and/or in English.

Since my early age, I have been showing a real curiosity for the outside world. I have always wanted to discover new places and so, once done with studies in the fields of Languages Applied to International Business and of Tourism, I left my small French village to move to the USA. For about four years I have lived and worked in the field of luxury hospitality. My next international destination was New Zealand, an enchanting country where I have stayed for a year and had an administrative position in human resources. I finally came back home in 2007 but deeply felt the need to stay in an English speaking environment. I therefore joined a corporation in Switzerland, where I was interacting daily with people from different nationalities. I have been regularly travelling since then.

I then decided to seize an opportunity to start a new challenge and set up my own freelance activity, and I have been enjoying every moment of my life as a translator. Over the last few years, I have had the chance to work on very interesting projects, for renowned brands/companies. I aim to continue developping my skills, provide high quality translations and combine passion and work for as long as possible!

In order to leverage my previous experience and provide the best of services, I have chosen to specialize in business, international relations and sustainable development.
