What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hybrid roles in translation/localization where I can apply AI-assisted workflows, ensure semantic precision, and work with collaborative teams focused on high-quality, culturally appropriate content.

I am a professional French–English translator with advanced academic specialization in translation and applied linguistics, fluent in both languages and experienced in academic, digital, and institutional content.

I deliver semantically precise, grammatically accurate, and stylistically faithful translations, with strengths in proofreading, linguistic quality assurance, and terminology management.

I adapt multimedia and subtitle content for cultural appropriateness and clarity, and I use modern translation technologies and AI-assisted tools to increase accuracy and efficiency.

I am highly reliable in remote work environments, provide structured French tutoring, and maintain consistent collaboration for digital projects and content localization.
