Work with Carole Gérard!

Who am I?

My name is Carole, I’m a 30 year-old translator. I live in the countryside, in the South of Brussels, in Belgium, with my partner and our two cats (my dearest but not-that-effective assistants).
I love plants, crafts, nature, sunsets, reading and translating!

What background do I have?

From 2011 to 2016, I studied mutidisciplinary translation from English and Spanish to French, at the University of Mons, Belgium.
During my studies, I got to translate everyday, which I loved. I even got to translate a whole book for my master’s thesis, for which I got the “high distinction” grade.
After my studies, I got the position of Project Manager in Acolad Belgium, a translation agency. I didn’t get to translate there, but I checked a lot of documents after their translation, and I got to be in contact with both translators and customers. I liked the technical side, so I switched position and became a Technical Coordinator after 3 years. I got to be in touch with all the tools, internal and external, CAT tools such as Studio, etc. I was in charge of testing them and trainings the teams. After 4 years at this position, I decided to come back to translation and here I am, a freelance translator!

Which domains do I work with?

I am personally passionated about plants, nature, arts, environment, culture, travels, tourism, so I love translating in these areas. But I’m open to all general translations.
I also really like creative translations, such as advertisments, etc.

When do we start working together?! :)
