Technical Translation specialising in Business, Audiovisual, Industrial with an interest in Tourism.
After studying business information technology in Paris V and Brighton universities, I started out as Business Analyst Developer in 1994.

In 2004, I set out as a freelancer, initially in PC maintenance, then 9 years as a video technician. I started to take on translation work in 2012 and in the last 3 years have specialized in technical and audiovisual translation.
