What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values language expertise and fosters professional growth.

At 43, I embarked on a journey to specialize in translation, driven by my passion for work and the belief that age should not limit one's career aspirations. I founded Marbet Translations, where I offer services in translation, subtitling, editing, proofreading, and linguistic consulting. My diverse background as a flight attendant and purser has equipped me with exceptional teamwork skills, the ability to remain calm under pressure, and a knack for navigating complex situations.

Throughout my 16 years as a purser with SWISS International Airlines, I honed my leadership abilities by training cabin crew members and ensuring passenger safety and care. My commitment to effective communication extends beyond the skies; I have also taught languages at various levels, further enriching my understanding of linguistic nuances. I am dedicated to providing high-quality translations that resonate with audiences while maintaining cultural sensitivity.
