About me

Born and raised in France, I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1994. I maintain strong contacts with my country and my language, as befits a language professional. Most of my work has consisted of various types of marketing materials in a range of fields. I believe in matching the style of a translation to its audience.
