Bio
Brought up in (mostly) English-speaking countries by French parents, it was natural for me to be involved in languages. I am bilingual in French and English, and fluent in German and Italian. I still have to improve my Danish skills to work in this language.

Having studied business administration, I worked for 15 years in the banking and financial sector. Analysing and comparing financial statements (in all "my" languages) is a second nature. I am a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).

For professional and personal reasons, I decided to combine my specialisation and my language skills to become a translator in the late 2000s. The City University post-graduate Diploma in Translation course helped me to formalise my studies and get personalised feedback and practice. Having passed the Diploma in Translation, I was admitted as a Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (UK). I am also member of the ASTTI (Switzerland)Financial and accounting fields are obvious specialties. However, during my banking years, I analysed companies in various industrial fields, giving me a strong knowledge of jargon used in car and component manufacturing, oil and gas, airlines, etc.

I mostly translate for fund managers, banks, hedge funds, auditing and consulting firms, and financial information providers, from English or German into French.

My voluntary activities include the editing of a 100-page post-machine-translation educational website about animals via "Translations for Progress" and the translation of NGO documents via Translators without Borders. I mostly use SDL Trados Studio 2021.
