Overview
My favourite subjects are:
- History: I have experience in the Middle-Ages, which fascinate me, and 20th-century wars and battles, but there is no limit to my curiosity when it comes to history.
- Science: I work a lot on space and astronomy, and even on astrophysics! I also enjoy Earth sciences.
- Wildlife: what an amazing world we live in! My recent webinar on wildlife terminology was well received by the translators' community.
These subjects have always interested me beyond work, and non-fiction authors can count on my enthusiasm and dedication to convey their knowledge to the French readership.

I am a freelance translator translating general texts (legal, marketing, technical).
My main experience comes from regular work for Oracom, a French magazine publisher, translating articles from varied magazines or book extracts. Subjects include history, science (mostly astronomy, astrophysics and space travel) and wildlife:
- Science Uncovered, Focus, How it Works, All About Space (see example in my Gallery)
- The World of Animals
- BBC History, extracts from history books (see examples in my Portfolio) published in French magazines
- DK illustrated encyclopedia (astronomy, science, history), see example in my Gallery.
