(French Translators' Association) With a double Masters in both Translation and Urban Planning, I'm a native English-speaker from Canada and living in Lyon, France with 6 years of translation experience. My passion is helping researchers get their articles published in top American and British journals and my experience working internationally as an urban planning researcher allows me to understand the needs of researchers. Specialized in urban planning and design, architecture, geography, planning law and archaeology, I also have experience translating requests for funding, project proposals, conference proceedings, book chapters, web sites, official and legal documents, literature and more.

I hold an undergraduate degree in Translation with a minor in Professional Writing. I am a foodie, and I love to travel; these passions transcend my work. I translate recipes, SKUs, labels, baking classes, brochures, tourist guides, catalogs, general documents, and correspondences.
I was raised in English and French, educated in English. Obtained a B.Sc. in Microbiology and a MBA in Operations Management and worked in industry for over 25 years prior to completing my translation studies.

I am passionate about languages (and particularly translation), travelling, communicating and discovering new places and people. I am a conscientious worker and pay particular attention to presentation, grammar and spelling.
