I have been working in the Interpreting field for the last 12 years, and have performed a wide range of assignments for both the private and the public sectors in France and in the UK. I am happy to provide French / English consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, in line with your requirements.

I can supply interpreting services both in France and abroad, as well as providing “turnkey” solutions for conferences and seminars (radio communication equipment / simultaneous translation / management of the translators team).

Fields dealt with during the course of my work (examples):

Thermodynamics, signal processing, computer science, sociology, ethics, labour law, integrating people into a work environment, European programmes, international meetings: French local authorities / foreign delegations, medicine, metallurgy, pharmaceutical industry, etc.

A tailored service

For each assignment I carry out a great deal of detailed research in order to become familiar with the line of business of the company or the organisation in question. Thus, to prepare for each interpreting assignment, I take the time to study the theme to be dealt with, and its specific terminology, in depth.

In order to prepare for an assignment effectively, I kindly ask my clients to provide me with background materials and relevant documents related to the event.

Naturally, I abide by a strict code of professional confidentiality, am fully committed to respecting confidentiality at all times and never take advantage of any information disclosed during the course of my work.
