Bio

I am a 22-year-old freelance translator, who recently graduated from the Master of Multilingual Specialized Translation at the University of Lille and I translate from English and Spanish into French. As I am at the very beginning of my career, I do not yet have a particular area of expertise. However, naturally curious, I am passionate about translation in all the areas I may come across.

I'm passionate about

Music (Pierce The Veil, Fall Out Boy, Crown the Empire, Greta Van Fleet...); TV Series (Doctor Who, Westworld, Peaky Blinders, Narcos, Stranger Things...); Movies (Matrix, Harry Potter, A Star Is Born, Kill Bill...); Travel (although I haven't been many places yet... London, Dublin, Madrid, Rome... Hoping to visit Tokyo, San Francisco, Mumbai...); Photography (I love landscape and concert photography but I still have a lot to learn!).

The TED story

I discovered TED a few years ago through YouTube suggestions and have loved watching TED talks ever since! They have made me laugh, think a bit differently and dream sometimes. Some talks have even inspired me to keep going when I thought I had made a terrible mistake regarding my life and career choices.
