Zena F.

A native bilingual and immersed from childhood in a multilingual and multicultural environment, I am a Franco-Canadian translator, copywriter, and proofreader whose expertise is rooted in a rich family heritage and a passion for the evocative power of words.

Born in Canada to an English-speaking father and a trilingual French mother, I grew up between Montreal, Paris, and London, bathed in an environment that celebrated linguistic play. Interpreters, translators, or copywriters, the women in my family passed on to me their passion for languages and the demand for work well done.

My academic journey, culminating in a master's degree from Birkbeck University of London, refined my research and writing skills while broadening my general knowledge. Back in Paris, I started my freelance translation business in 2017.

I put my skills to work for organizations such as the Institut Montaigne, Institut Pasteur, and the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine. My versatility allows me to juggle various types of documents and fields: Public policy reports, legal contracts, websites and articles for digital companies, exhibition catalogs, etc.

Since 2020, I have been dedicating myself fully to my translation work, expanding my scope to include content writing and proofreading. I assist my clients in creating and revising various content. My expertise extends from US and UK English to French, mastering not only the language but also the cultural subtleties of each idiom. My approach is based on a demand for precision, a fluid and engaging style, and a constant concern to reflect my clients' needs and voice.

As a passionate professional, my linguistic expertise and rigor will be at the service of your message.
