Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Sheila
Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile.
As a native English speaker, I have been living in France since the 1980s.
My CV is rather atypical, as I have worked in several fields: industry, finance, software publishing, training, local authorities, sports (especially climbing).
In addition to the more classic documents from the business world (brochures, annual reports, technical data sheets, software interfaces, training materials...), I have already translated several websites and I regularly subtitle video clips, particularly sports-related ones, including for international climbers Gautier Supper and Romain Desgranges, and for brands like RAB and ArtLine.
I proofread and edit texts for companies, including for social media, to help professionalize communication by avoiding literal translations or misinterpretations.
I have been a freelancer for over 6 years, open to all types of assignments. Modestly, I work well and quickly, but to believe me, you'll have to contact me! Quotes per word or per hour depending on your needs.
I can work on MS-Office, Google Suite, InDesign, SRT files...
Hope to see you soon.
