As an English native I graduated from a leading UK University- The University of Bristol in BA Hons in French. I studied translation (English <> French) amongst other subjects like French history, French politics etc.
After graduating I moved to Paris where I lived for 4 years and worked solely in French. My jobs included freelance translator for a Paris tourism website and then as a permanent employee for 3 years in Marketing. Translation was also a large part of my role. I've translated dossiers, client presentations and a 200 page book (sold in store) into English.
With a background in marketing, translation and cosmetics, I am flexible and can translate any type of text (especially tourism, cosmetics/pharma, marketing/business and general) including very technical pieces. Work can be turned around quickly and done to the highest quality.
