What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply language teaching, editing, and translation skills in multicultural teams, deliver tailored learning, and contribute to high editorial standards.

I am an experienced corporate language trainer and publishing professional with a sharp eye for detail and a passion for clear, polished language. I deliver tailored one-on-one sessions, group classes, academy courses, and global mobility programs in English and French.

My background includes roles as senior editor, translator (EN↔FR), acquisition and sales lead, and international trainer, with measurable success in improving editorial standards and learner outcomes. I have substantial remote teaching experience supporting exam preparation and workplace communication.

I thrive in multicultural environments, prioritize learner-centered approaches, and bring strong communication, cultural sensitivity, and meticulous proofreading skills to content and instructional projects.
