Bio

Over 10 years' professional translation experience, Master in Translation, Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Cognitive Science. Linguistic Background: I am fully bilingual, having been raised in a French household, but received a British education. I learnt Spanish from living in South America in my formative years and living and working in Spain as a TEFL teacher after university. I have been living in Portugal for the last 8 years. I am therefore fluent in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Professional Experience: I have been working as a freelance translator for the last 12 years, carrying out regular translation, post-editing, review and proofreading work for leading clients in the business, retail and tourism sectors including Accor, Decathlon and Google. I have also carried out volunteer translation work for several NGO's, such as Medecins sans Frontieres and Blue Ventures Marine Conservation. My experience includes interpreting work for the NHS. During my Masters in Translation, I acquired in-depth knowledge about translation theory and the translation profession, including the use of CAT tools. As well as Trados Studio, I work with Star Transit on a regular basis. I have recently completed a professional subtitling and closed captioning course including training on Ooona's online toolkit and can now offer these services too.

I specialize in the fields of social sciences, tourism/sport and the environment.
