WELCOME
I translate and proofread many types of documents from contracts to websites in many different fields from French to English and English to French. I also provide Consulting services for the Banking Industry. I am highly educated and work hard on providing my clients with impeccable work. I always stand behind my work, with customer satisfaction being my #1 priority.
I understand how important it is to feel confident and worry free when it comes to the Translator or Consultant you choose. That’s why I invest the time and energy necessary to be well prepared for requests or concerns my clients may have. I regularly sign Non-Disclosure Agreements to protect my clients' confidentiality.
Ask me for quotes, I offer competitive prices and short turn-arounds.

I specialise in translations in the fields of Finance, Business, Management and Accounting drawing on the skills and expertise developed in the course of my previous career as a trader and portfolio manager.
