'What is conceived well is expressed clearly'
Nicolas Boileau (1636–1711)
I am a British translator providing a specialised service in French-to-English journalistic translation. Precision, readability and intelligibility are my guiding principles.
I hail from the United Kingdom, but I have been settled in France since 2010. Back in England, I obtained a bachelor's degree in French and a master's degree in translation. To hone my writing skills, I also took a course in English writing techniques through a British journalism school.
