Additional information:
I am a native speaker of French and English: I have always spoken both languages. I am a dual citizen of France and Australia.
I completed a major part of my schooling in French (New Caledonia), and the rest in English (Australia).

I have now lived in 6 different English and/or French-speaking countries worldwide, have travelled extensively, and worked for companies in Australia, London (UK), and Montreal (Canada). All of this experience has deepened my knowledge of the cultural nuances that exist between different English-speaking, French-speaking or bilingual countries.

I also bring 10 years of solid professional experience within various sectors to my translation work:
medical administration, retail banking, telecommunications/internet (client relations, SLA management, team management, staff training), bilingual secretarial, web hosting technical support, Internet research for a developer of web portals, and HR for a CAD software development firm.
