Bio
High quality level and accurate translations on time at the best price.

I am naturally bilingual in French and Spanish, my father being French and my mother from Latin America. I have also a high level of English acquired by study and study / life experience in the US (plus professional business experience). I have lived also 5 years in Brazil so I have a good understanding of Portuguese.

I have 10 years of professional experience in the business world working in IT projects in several fields (banking/finance, telecoms, insurance and engineering). I combine all those skills to offer a reliable translation service in the languages.

As we are stronger in group than alone, I partner with a growing group of translators native from several countries so it enables me to work on large projects and to offer other languages combinations as well: german, italian, portuguese, japanese, polish, russian, estonian, turkish and arab.
