Born, raised and educated in the US, I’ve lived in France for forty years, so a true dual culture. I’ve been a technical and commercial translator from French to American English since 2005 and have recently branched out into the translation of fiction novels.
Before that though, I worked in the construction industry with two family-owned shops for nearly twenty years giving me experience both in the industry and in management.
I also was an English trainer for companies in Normandy, so I learned all about production techniques in pharmaceutical laboratories, in auto component companies and in Schneider Electric.
Content I translate:
business documents (PowerPoint presentations, newsletters, etc.)
technical specifications
documents related to the hospitality and tourism industries
Fiction books - a new challenge, making sure that American readers understand French references. I currently have a dozen or so books translated from French to English available on Amazon, plus as many institutional books or catalogues for museums.
Jacquie a traduit mon roman du français à l’américain et a travaillé de façon très professionnelle, je suis ravie du résultat. Je la recommande pour de futures traductions.
