About me

I’m a British-born qualified linguist and a highly-experienced French-English freelance translator who’s been living in France for over 13 years. I began translating professionally almost immediately after graduating from the University of London Institute in Paris back in 2005.

Nearly 10 years later, I’ve now translated more than 2.5 million words in the legal, business, marketing, and tourism fields as well as a wide range of other documents for agencies and clients in France, the UK and worldwide.

I pride myself on my :

attention to detail
versatility and
excellent research skills

I enjoy the challenge of immersing myself in new areas of expertise, pinpointing the exact right words to get your message across.

I use the very latest CATComputer-assisted translation (CAT) tools to ensure I translate consistently, accurately and fast.

Need a different language combination? Just ask and I’ll happily put you in touch with one of my network of highly-qualified colleagues.

“Translation is that which transforms everything so that nothing changes.”
