I am a qualified and experienced translator. I translate written texts from French into my mother tongue, British English. I am a member of the Institute of Linguists (MCIL).
I LOVE my job. I realised that translation was the perfect career for me in the first year of my BA (French with Management) at King's College London. I went on to study for my MA in Translation at University College London, graduating in 2007 with a Distinction.
My passion for French began at an early age (I was listening to French language tapes on my Sony Walkman at the age of five!) and now, having had the pleasure of getting to know French culture so well, I am a Francophile through and through.
My love of the French language is second only to my love of my mother tongue and for me, the pleasure of translation is in recreating the depth of meaning and beauty of a French text using the riches of the English language.
When I am not working I can most likely be found in the kitchen, baking or attempting a new cuisine, or writing about my culinary adventures in my blog.
