Bio
I'm a freelance translator (English to French), native French speaker and an English & German graduate. I've lived in France, England and New Zealand, have travelled to numerous countries around the world and have been a translator for an international company that offers maritime services.
Today I like to focus on texts/talks that tackle environmental issues, but my work is not limited to that. I have translation experience in the maritime transport and offshore oil/gas sectors, although I would like to use that knowledge for a better cause.
I'm passionate about
Photography, nature, travel, cultures and languages, sustainable and ethical practices, people who dedicate their life and work to make the world a better place.

The TED story
I'm part of the volunteer translation program on TED. I translate from English to French and like to focus on talks that tackle environmental issues. In order to offer serious translations, I choose subjects that I'm familiar with -- but I also love to work on talks that teach me something new. After all, isn't learning the main point of TED?
