My path to life as a translator<\/h2>\n

From learning Breton in primary school to celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi (birthday)<\/h3>\n

I was born in India, a country that\u2019s home to over 780 dialects, and grew up in France. French is my mother tongue. I learnt Breton at primary school, then English and Spanish. I studied Mandarin Chinese for two years at university and am now learning Portuguese. As well as my passion for French and other languages, I have always been fascinated by travelling and foreign cultures.<\/p>\n

My path to specialisation in tourism and hospitality<\/h3>\n

I live in Brittany which welcomes many tourists. I worked several summers a check-in hostess for a ferry transportation company (Brittany Ferries). I lived +2 years in Costa Rica where I was a co-manager of a hotel restaurant and also translator-web writer in an agency specialised in content for tourism and holiday rentals. That’s why hospitality and travel are my fields of specialism.<\/p>\n

Some of my most amazing experiences have been abroad: total immersion in host families in England, an Erasmus semester in London, a colourful and spicy road trip through South India, low sun over frozen Finnish lakes, snorkelling in turquoise lagoons in Polynesia and seeing the breath-taking Teahupoo wave up close, more than two years living the rhythm of Pura Vida life in Costa Rica, hiking in \u00cele de la R\u00e9union, walking the 400 steps up to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in Hong-Kong, an eye-opening trip to Macao\u2026<\/p>\n

Your native French translator – Who am I<\/h2>\n

I live in Brittany and have been a professional translator working from\u00a0English and Spanish into French<\/strong> since 2008. I worked for 6 years as an in-house translator for translation companies in France and abroad before deciding to become a freelancer.<\/p>\n

Before and after a day translating, I like to take care of my goats, unwind in nature, walk by the sea or cultivate my vegetable garden. You\u2019ll also find me at the dojo for karate training, reading or practicing yoga.<\/p>\n

Education<\/h2>\n

I graduated from the Institut Sup\u00e9rieur d’Interpr\u00e9tation et de Traduction (ISIT, School of Interpreters and Translators in Paris) and from the Centre de Formation des Traducteurs Localisateurs, Terminologues et R\u00e9dacteurs techniques in Rennes (MA degree).
\nIn 2018, I passed a SEO and Brand content certification with the CNAM<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I never stop learning new skills\u2026 in the translation area, but also in the many topics that passionate me.<\/p>\n
