Bio
Professional Translation Background:

- DIPTRANS Iolet qualification in translating French to English since January 2013.
- Member of Chartered Institute of Linguists.

I have worked on a range of translation projects since 2008 : tourism, history, website translation.


I specialise in the following fields:

- Corporate communications (annual reports, press releases, internal communications)
- Tourism (flight magazine, brochures, websites)
- Gastronomy (wine descriptions, menus)
- Education (websites)
- General technical (call for tenders in the domains of energy and construction).

Educational background.

- BA (Hons) degree from Bath University : European Studies and Modern Languages (linguistics, translation, history, economics) in French and German.
- Certified English teacher in France (CAPES) since 2004.
- DipTransIOLET Diploma in Translation from the Chartered Institute of Linguists, since January 2013.

I was born in Devon, and have lived in France since 1998. I gained dual nationality (French) in 2011, in order to fulfill my council duties as delegate councillor for tourism in Sierck Les Bains, France. I am also an active member of a local heritage society in our medieval village.

I can therefore say that I have an in-depth knowledge of French culture and way of life, as I work and interact daily with French nationals and lead cultural and tourism projects for the council.
