About me
A young French/German into English stylewriter, my background lies in the world of advertising and marketing. After two years adapting press ads, web copy, brochures and press releases at a company that worked alongside Europe's premier ad agencies, my career as a freelancer has seen me working on very similar projects for clients including BMW, Chanel, Nissan, Ray-Ban, Swarovski, Masterfoods, Bosch, France Telecom, Daimler Chrysler and Eurostar. Though my forte lies in reproducing creative copy with all the style and impact of the original, I am equally comfortable translating more technical texts (e.g. work for enteo, a German IT firm and Schoeller, a textiles company), and pride myself on my ability to deliver accurate adaptations on time that fully reflect the tone of the source text.

Note that though I'm based in Peru for the next few months, I am working for European agencies as usual, and am online from 13.00-14.00 CET onwards. The time difference means I am always happy to take on last-minute jobs for the next day.
