Available to hire
I am a qualified French translator with 20 years of localization experience, specializing in marketing, video games, and technical documents. I work with global teams to deliver accurate translations, robust glossaries, and thorough QA across platforms—from websites to contracts and EULAs.
Based in Brighton, I lead translation projects and coordinate multilingual teams, while also volunteering to translate for charities. I am proficient in memoQ, Wordfast, and Phrase, and I enjoy helping brands connect with audiences worldwide through clear, culturally resonant communication.
