Freelance translator

Precise, diligent and friendly

 

• English - native speaker
• French – near native speaker

 

For me, translation has always been a necessity of life. I have always been immersed in several languages – mostly English and French, but also Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese. I have excellent written skills, work to a very high standard and will only take on work that I'm confident that I can complete to this standard.

 

I am completely comfortable with European French as well as Québecois French. As well, I am sensitive to the subtle differences between British, American and Canadian English.

 

I specialize in: business, social sciences, geography, travel and tourism, and human rights.
 

Able to meet tight deadlines, and will also do overnight translations.
 

Academic background:

 

Bachelor of Arts, with a Combined Honours in Human Rights and Geography, from Carleton University (1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa ON, K1S 5B6, Canada). 1999-2003.
