About Me
I am an experienced translator, proofreader and interpreter. I hold a diploma from the Chartered Institute of Linguists (Diploma in translation - DipTransIoLET, 2006).
I was born and raised in France - though raised bilingual in French and English. I was schooled in a bilingual establishment up to graduation, and I have now lived and worked in London for the best part of 27 years.
I also lived in Spain, Colombia and Portugal, and am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.
I regularly travel to these locations, both for business and pleasure, although I am mainly based in London.
Languages have always fascinated me, and living in each of the countries of which I speak the language has allowed me to soak in their culture. This gives me a great advantage in terms of real fluency.
I have an excellent grasp of English, French, Spanish and Portuguese in every register - from informal, spoken or street language, to formal, business, and varied literary styles.
