My work

I am the French language translator of Peter James, author of #1 bestsellers (20 million copies sold).

Awards: “Comme Une Tombe” Prix Polar International (2006) and Prix Cœur Noir (2007); “La mort leur va si bien” Grand Prix de littérature policière (shortlisted) and Prix SNCF du polar 2007 (shortlisted).

Changing lifestyles and living more ethically is both invigorating and necessary. I support like-minded people who are on the same mission.

In recent years, I have translated for the holistic platforms Inside/Out Women and Garance Doré.

My first experience in the cosmetics sector was working as a trilingual beauty adviser for Laboratoires Dr Pierre Ricaud, on the Champs-Elysées, when I was 26.

Since then, I have worked as a translator and interpreter for Dior, Chanel, Shiseido and many other beauty brands.

My first experience in the fashion industry was working as a trilingual receptionist for Céline, on Paris’ Avenue Montaigne, when I was 25.

Since then, I have collaborated with Louis Vuitton, COS and Mary Katrantzou, among other brands.

My love story with music – especially indie rock and electro – started when I discovered Sonic Youth, in the early 90s.

Since then, I have never stopped working in the music industry, either as an artist manager, a tour manager or a rock critic.

I had the privilege to do simultaneous translation for PJ Harvey, Marianne Faithfull and Paul McCartney, among others, and to translate Suze Rotolo’s (Bob Dylan’s first girlfriend) memoirs A Freewheelin’ Time.

Cinema is another passion of mine. As a journalist, I have covered Cannes Film Festival 4 years in a row.

I subtitle movies, videos and series, translate treatments, scripts and synopses, and had the honour to do simultaneous translation for Martin Scorsese.

My passion for good, local, seasonal food started when I studied wine tasting. Some years later, I started working as a food critic for Le Fooding, the famous French guide. As a translator, I have also collaborated with Relais & Châteaux and other guides.

I started studying wine tasting when I was 25. In 2000, I wrote a thesis entitled “The Vocabulary of Wine Tasting in French and in English.”

Since then, I have worked as a wine critic and a translator, collaborating with Veuve Clicquot, Château Haut-Brion, Saint-Martin-de-la-Garrigue and many other wine houses.
