I have always loved linguistics and vocal arts. From a young age I was drawn to the artistry of puppet theatres. I have done two translations from French to English and then did the English voiceover in a local studio in downtown Vancouver where Brian Adams recorded his first song. No second takes as in conference interpreting (my profession of choice) we do not have that opportunity...You must get it right the first time round. In Brussels, Belgium, I was asked to do a voiceover for a Flemish producer of dogfoods...editing of the Dutch-English translation first. - French Baccalaureat from the Academy of Montpellier,after spending 4 years in a boarding school in Nimes, France. - Degree as a French, English, Spanish translator from ISTI in Brussels, Belgium. - 5 years experience working as a French-English in-house translator and interpreter for the Textile Secretariat of the European Communities. - Over 25 years' experience working in the private and public sectors as a French/English simultaneous conference interpreter based in Vancouver, BC. - Accreditation with the Federal government of Canada. - Accredited Member of the Society of Translators and Intepreters of BC (STIBC) - Accrdited Member of the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario (ATIO) _Affiliated member of the Council of Translators, Terminologists and Interpeters of Canada (CTTIC) I'm a very bubbly type of person who is passionate about what she does.
