Bio
I am a French native and professional translator in the following combinations: English into French and German into French. I own a degree in business, technical and editorial translation from one of the top schools in the world: the Graduate School for Interpreters and Translators (ESIT) of the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris. I have over 27 years of experience in translation, transcreation, editing, proofreading, machine-translation post-editing, copy editing, and linguistic consulting. I am located in Boston, on the US East Coast, which allows me to take advantage of the time difference when working with European clients. My accomplishments: I worked at the French Ministry of Defense as an intern, translating technical NATO documents from English into French in the field of military strategy and geopolitics. I have also translated sensitive/diplomatic documents for the Minsitry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Ministry of fisheries and marine economics of Mauritania. I am an approved translator for the Criminal Division of the US Departement of Justice. I am a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in the pharma/medical field for numerous translation agencies. I am a long-time preferred translator for Doctors Without Borders, and their medical research center Epicentre, for which I have translated numerous handbooks, and documents related to the treatment of malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. I am a linguistic quality control reviewer for several global leaders, such as Roche. I am well-versed in the translation of regulatory documents for the EMA and Swissmedic. I am a transcreator and third-party reviewer for ad agencies. I am an online training content localization specialist for Harvard Business Review. I have translated high-profile documents for the World Bank Group. I am a copy editor for the World Food Program and the Food and Agriculture Organization. I am the lead French linguist for the provision of translation services to the FiBL (Research Institute of Organic Agriculture in Switzerland).
