My passion for languages began at just five years old thanks to my travel-loving parents, their trusty caravan and their first house in France. I was lucky to grow up between England and France, and travel extensively throughout Europe with my family.

After completing a BA Hons degree in Languages and Linguistics (French and Swedish) at the University of York, I then spent 15 years in the airline industry, in the UK and Canada. During this time, I also completed a Higher Certificate in Law with the Open University.

Since 2012, I have been working as a translator and proofreader in France, specialising in the aeronautical, tourism and legal sectors. In 2022, I decided to formalise my experience by becoming an accredited proofreader and copy editor through the College of Media and Publishing.

I also work as a copywriter and a freelance writer, with articles and short stories published in magazines, such as Reader's Digest, France Today, The People's Friend, Yours, Go English, Living France and Yorkshire Life.

I look forward to working with you on your translation, proofreading and copywriting projects! Please don't hesitate to get in touch via the 'Contact' page.
