About me
A quick introduction: I am a 32-year-old France-born marketing-executive-turned-translator. I have lived in France most of my life, but I am now residing in the United States (NY), where I moved in mid-06. My husband is American and the main language in our household is American English.

I am looking for: translation work from English (US or UK) to French (Euro), preferably in the domains of Market Research and Marketing or Literature where I have first-hand professional experience.

I love what I do and I do it well: I will respect the text you give me and translate its full meaning in correct, idiomatic French that will read as if it had been written in French from the start, and always comply with your deadlines and special instructions!

Language and specialization background:

- I went to business school in France (HEC), where I took the International Track program (many courses in English) and several cross-cultural electives. I specialized in Marketing during a 4-month exchange program in the UK with UMIST (University of Manchester Institute of Technology);
- I have 8 years of International experience in marketing, with a concentration in Market Research -- I have been working in both French and English in Europe and in the United States.
- I am currently a remote student with Paris III - La Sorbonne for a BA in Modern French Literature, and have published a few articles in both French and English.

I have professionally written questionnaires, discussion guides, screeners, proposals, presentations and more in both languages for 8 years. I was also the "go to" person for English/ French translation in my successive positions.

In addition to free-lance experience (I've worked on translations for the tourism industry, on film subtitles, on Art history translations, on resumes...), I worked as a volunteer for ted.com, translating conferences from English to French, and for Distributed Proofreader, which is great practice for these ever-necessary proofreading skills!
