I lived in several countries as a child (the USA, Belgium, England, Tunisia) and studied both in French and English in the different school systems. After earning a French Baccalaureate in Tunis, I went on to study Business in France. I have lived here ever since, and have thus gained an in-depth knowledge of both the language and way of life.

I have a Diploma in Translation (DipTrans) - French into English - from the Institute of Linguists.
Also, as it's never too late to study, I'm currently working on a Bsc in Psychology at the Open University in the UK - last course starts in January 2010! This has definetly opened up a whole new world of concepts and specialized English vocabulary for me. If all goes well, I will go back to the French system for my Masters' degree.

Completed projects include television travel documentaries, a psychology book on psychometric tests, IT user's manuals, HR career management tools, gastronomy web sites and press reviews. The fields are quite eclectic, which is what makes my work interesting!

I would be happy to answer any questions you might have on my background and skills.
