From passion to business!

Language skills: having followed an initial training course, consolidated via further education, travelling, reading, diverse media and conversing with British Nationals; hence reflecting my love of the English language and its unique culture.

Technical translation skills: acquired via a Translator Certification (level 7 certificate = Baccalaureate + 5 years’ studies), accredited in France by the National Directory of Vocational Training (RNCP) and dispensed by Edvenn (formerly Ci3M), a translation and writing school in Rennes (France). Head of training course: Daniel Gouadec.

Further education

In order to consolidate my know-how and to keep up-to-date of the latest developments, I regularly follow courses in my fields of competence and attend seminars to remain aware of the needs of my clients.

Hence, I will attend the Landscaping Fair (Paysalia Lyon), the Plant Fair in Angers (Salon du Végétal), plant and garden festivals nationwide (Saint-Jean de Beauregard, Chaumont-sur-Loire,etc.), as well as various events outside of France (Chelsea Flower Show in London, Bloom in Dublin).

In addition, I also endeavour to attend the various meetings, seminars and courses organised by the French Translators’ Union (Société Française des Traducteurs, SFT) of which I am a Member.
