Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Translator and industrial process engineer, winner of the 2017 French-language translator recruitment competition organized by the UN, I specialize in scientific and technical translation, from English to French.

My goal: to help players in the industrial and scientific world operating in an international context gain efficiency by overcoming the language barrier.

My training and professional background have allowed me to develop solid skills in areas such as the environment, energy, industrial equipment and processes, as well as electronics and optics, around which my translation activity is focused.

Thanks to my dual expertise, the documents translated for my industrial and institutional clients are written in clear, precise French adapted to their audience. All my work is carried out with respect for quality, deadlines, and confidentiality.

Member of Aprotrad (Professional Association of Translation Professions) and INSA Alumni Toulouse (Association of INSA Toulouse Engineers), I have lived and worked for many years in a Franco-British environment.
