What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles that value precision, cultural awareness, and intellectual rigor—especially translation, localization, editing, technical/documentation work, or research support. I do my best in autonomous, remote, self-directed environments with international teams.

I’m a translation-focused language specialist with a strong drive to build meaningful cross-cultural connections. I bring fluent English–French ability, cultural sensitivity, and a meticulous approach that prioritizes meaning, context, and audience resonance.

I combine translation with research and writing—conducting work on literary translation strategies using empirical analysis and theoretical frameworks. I produce academically rigorous, well-structured content and adapt my communication style to the needs of each project, with an ethical commitment to precision and continuous improvement.
