About us

Technical Experience 

My contact with purchasing, procurement, and marketing helped me understand the challenges of supply chain management in a factory that was rebuilt from the ground up. 

My experience in development allowed me to develop a translation terms database for use in current and future projects and teaches the value of spending the time necessary to get detail right.

Localized Content 

I have produced SEO-compliant text for multiple websites using industry-standard SEO analysis tools. Eighteen years living in France has proved useful when it comes to understanding a text.

Diverse experience of fields relevant to translation

Advanced Translation

I have spoken French since the age of thirteen and came to work in languages after technical studies. I offer a range of translation-related services (technical translation, transcription, and subtitling, proofing). I am interested in artistic and subtitling projects that intersect with multimedia and hope to build on my technical experience.

Video Technician

I ran a small media business digitizing analogue video and audio, including Super 8. We duplicated digital media such as CDs, DVDs, SD cards, floppy disks, and Iomega ZIP discs, and recovered lost data from storage media.

The experience has been invaluable for subtitling, video editing, and transcription. I edited video with digitized film, which sometimes required colour and exposure correction, reduction editing, or compiling photo slideshows.

Database Manager

It was a great sense of achievement to develop the purchasing database for a large computer manufacturer, with a complex data process. I integrated forecast and production data from multiple sources in marketing, production, and purchasing.

My role was to develop and maintain the import process and produce the necessary KPIs. I collated product road maps for significant components and identified purchasing requirements for the corporate PeopleSoft implementation.
