“Translators are like ninjas. If you notice them, they’re no good”. How did it all begin? Well, in the beginning was the Word. And then came linguists. You know, those annoying little creatures who never fail to correct spelling mistakes, cannot help but flag typos and secretly cringe at the thought of inappropriate wording. Well, I’m a proud member of this strange community that lurks in the shadows. Language junkie? Yes, please.My ambition: be the voice of your brand and read the minds of your target audience, all the while adapting your TOV to the French market.Throughout my 15 years as an independent translator and editor, I’ve helped people fall in love with high-profile brands and honed my skills in a number of areas. In a nutshell:Brands: Airbnb, C&A, COS, Amazon Prime, PayPal, Levi’s, Starbucks, Danone, Diageo, H&M, Gucci, C&A, Dyson, P&G, ClassPass, Trip Advisor, UNIQLO, Emirates, Turkish Airline, Empire State Building, Hilton, UNiDAYSAreas of specialty: Hospitality, travel & tourism, fashion, B2C and B2B marketing, dubbing and subtitling (films, series and documentaries), psychometrics, lifestyleMedia/document type: Print and TV ads, digital, web copy, outdoor & indoor signage, in-store, blogs and newslettersWhen I am not obsessing over finding the perfect wording for your new tagline, I enjoy taking endless walks with my furry four-legged friends, reading thrillers that keep me awake until dawn, travelling to Thailand (where I spent 4 years), China and South-East Asia, sipping Burgundy wines (I live in Dijon, in the heart of a region blessed by Dionysus), and experimenting with food (so far, nobody got hurt).What else? Teaching: In my previous life as a teacher, I taught beginner and intermediate English to students aged 11 to 16, and French as a foreign language to students from various nationalities and age groups.Editing: I’ve been the proud head proofreader of the French magazine Inexploré since 2020.Education & degrees: Masters in Translation and Information Management (INALCO, Paris), Certified English teacher (CAPES, Dijon).Networking: Over the years, I’ve built a small network of trusted colleagues, which enables me to quickly set up a team for larger projects. All of them are also ninjas, so you probably won’t notice them.
