I specialise in Technical Translation of Business, Audiovisual, Industrial documents 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.

I moved to France in 2000, where I spent 4 years in the purchasing department of a large PC manufacturer, working with buyers to manage data and produce purchasing indicators.

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.
