About me
Hello!


I'm Cindy, I was born in Paris and as far as I remember, I have always been interested in foreign languages, as well as in other ways to communicate like music.

I take pleasure in travelling abroad and teaching languages, but what I like most is translating.

Translating is a fascinating way to discover history and other cultures by handling the text, playing with the words, trying to explore the hidden meaning of popular sentences or specifically chosen expressions according to the context.

Moreover, it allows me the deepen my knowledge of society, sciences and technologies, as one of the best methods to correctly translate a document in a technical subject is to keep up to date and be informed of the latest discoveries in this subject.

Those are the reason why I have chosen to start my studies specialized in technical and scientific translation and documentation, a interesting but unusual combination that has trained me to always find the perfect terminology in very specific domains.


I look forward to working with you soon and share my passion of words with you!
