I studied social sciences and law and obtained 2 master degrees in these fields. Then, I worked 10 years in consumer protection both in the French consumer authority and in the European Commission (DG Justice and Consumers) as a lawyer. I worked on EU legislation and its implementation in the different EU members States, working with national authorities on common enforcement action and investigations.
I therefore developed my expertise in Consumer legislation (B2C contracts) and in Consumer affairs in general, in particular regarding car rentals and airlines, social media (advertisement, data protection), booking platforms, e-commerce, time share contracts and holidays rentals. I have a solid knowledge in investigation powers and procedural law.
After a 2-year expatriation in Lao PDR , I got a Bachelor degree in English literature and civilization.
I am now a reliable and efficient translator at your service!
I have been a freelance translator for about thirty years now, living and working in the countryside, very close to nature.
I am also a professor of translation at the University of Liège for one day a week. I accompany students in writing their dissertations and I also supervise them during their internship.
This allows me to keep a translation activity almost full-time.
I love nature, animals and calamity.
