About Me

I began my translation career in 2007 translating automotive and other technical user guides from French to English, while I completed my BA in Translation. Over the years, I’ve worked with a variety of texts and formats (finance, business correspondence, HR, IT, user guides, employee manuals, subtitling, travel, culinary, legal, medical, etc). In 2023, I graduated with a Master’s of Translation and Interpreting from New York University. My Master’s thesis was a 10,000 word translation of an excerpt from a contemporary novel.

When clients request literal translations, this is how I handle the situation

I explain the importance of highlighting meaning as opposed to words only. I may provide examples.

My modus operandi for communicating with clients is

Straightforward, timely, and communicative.

This is how I solved a recent terminology, style, or linguistic challenge

When translating subtitles for a French film, I opted for a cultural reference that would resonate more with the English-speaking audience.
