Bio
Specializations

Food and Gastronomy - previously translator at the Ecole de Cuisine Ritz Escoffier, Paris. Recently translated a book about champagne. Regularly translate a wine club newsletter.

Tourism - have worked for several French departmental tourist offices, and translated part of a guide book for Paris.

Marketing - have translated marketing material for two food companies exporting to the UK.

Health and Medical - an area of great personal interest, recently translated an 11,000 word document about a new drug in breast cancer treatment. Also translated a book about the health benefits of eating fresh bee pollen.

Environmental - completed the first part of a master's degree in environmental decision making. Recently translated a large site about current research into alternative sources of energy.

Children's books - I have greatly enjoyed translating French children's books into English for my son and hope to find an opportunity to do this professionally.

Background
Having studied physics and philosophy at university I had a restaurant for ten years in London. In 1999 I sold everything and moved to France, between Bordeaux and Toulouse, where I have been living ever since with my partner and son. I have worked as a translator full-time since 2004, mainly for agencies.

We moved to Bordeaux in February 2009.
