Bio

Summary

Native English speaker who has previously lived and worked in France and has more than 5 years of experience translating French to English and English to French for direct customers. I have experience working on texts related to construction, fitness, the culinary arts/gastronomy, oenology/viniculture, and agriculture as well as broad interests that have exposed me to many fields, leaving the door open for other subject areas as well. I have significant experience working with both European French and Canadian French.

Education

I have a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in French Language, Literature, and Culture from Michigan State University. My master's thesis consisted of a portfolio of translations related to gastronomy, oenology, and viniculture as well as an analysis of the theoretical concepts taken into account during my translation. I am also in the process of earning a French to English translation certificate from the University of Toronto.

Professional Experience

I have been providing high-quality French to English and English to French translations to several direct customers since 2016. I have previously lived in France and worked in customer service at the Alliance Française Paris Ile-de-France. I also previous experience servicing anglophone and francophone customers in customer service and sales at a multinational food corporation as well as customer service and sales support for a multinational building materials producer.
