Bio

I grew up between France and Africa (Nigeria/Burkina Faso), as my father worked abroad.

After High school I spent one year in California to learn english.

After obtaining my Bachelor degree in Spanish and English translation in 2008, I  went to live in the UK in order to deepen my knowledge of the language.

Upon my return to France I have taken a position as an export sales assistant in the food industry,
mostly to pay the bills.

For 7 years, part of my mission, was to
translate in English and Spanish all the required documents, from marketing to
quality process, necessary to obtain the health certification in each country
my company wanted to enter (Japan, Hong Kong, Canada, Mexico…)

Then I changed company and did it all over
again for 6 more years.

I now want to dedicate myself full time to
my real passion: translation.

I have been training to many of the new
tools for the past few weeks to be up to the task.
