Speaker details


Bio:A language graduate, and having worked previously for a large computer manufacturer (Digital Equipment Corporation, then Compaq) in various roles in Customer service, Quality assurance and Project management, she decided to add the business experience she had gained during those years and combine them with her language skills to pursue her true vocation and become a freelance translator. She started translating 10 years ago, with the help of Proz.com, which played an important part as an invaluable resource in starting her freelance career.

Since then, she has become a prolific translator working in the Medical field but also enjoying working in other areas of interest such as Legal, Marketing and Environmental and Development. Living in Scotland, she has now become an accredited member of the ITI and recently started volunteering for Translators Without Borders, another incredible chance she found though Proz, as it is a pursuit close to her heart:

“I have found a wonderful opportunity to do something I had dreamt to do for years: helping the humanitarian sector with their wonderful work. Interested in international development and environmental issues, I had often wondered how to go about bringing my personal contribution to the relentless work of NGOs. TSB/TWB has provided me with a way to do it that fits perfectly both with my personal and professional life. Indeed, I feel very privileged to be allowed to make a little difference by doing something I love.”

Her other interests include spending time with her friends and family in France and in Scotland, enjoying the beautiful sceneries these two countries have to offer, as well as music, yoga and photography.
