About Catherine

**Like Obelix, I fell into the magic potion when I was little.

My superpower? Languages and communication!

I grew up in a trilingual country, with parents of different mother tongues, a mother who is a Germanic languages teacher, and multilingual activities since always. I have always loved playing with languages in every way. They fascinate me!

Later, I pursued my studies as a translator with joy and brilliance! I went through marketing and communication, teaching, coaching, and I even developed tools with Access Consciousness to help people successfully overcome their blocks with languages and communication!

I also translated for many years in various fields, but with some recurring sectors, such as aviation, logistics, pharmaceuticals, safety prevention, but also mass retail, bedding, cosmetics, well-being, both in marketing and product development and internal communication. I also regularly translate personal development books or other narratives.

Later, I embraced web writing for various sectors, but mainly in personal development.

I am neither for nor against technology; I love AI when it allows me to save time and inspire me, but I remain convinced of the indispensable human oversight in translation and writing. It's the art of taking the best of both worlds!

I also have a thousand other linguistic hats in terms of TMS platforms (Translation Management Systems), language training, and coaching.

In summary:
  • Proficiency in many fields and ability to tackle new ones
  • Attention to detail at all levels (content and form)
