About Me

25 year-old French Canadian currently living in Bilbao, Spain but originally from Québec City, Canada. Fluent in French, English, Spanish, German and Italian - passive understanding of Catalan and currently trying to find the time to learn Russian and Greek (eek!). I graduated from Bishop's University with a BA in Modern Languages (Spanish/German Major, Italian Minor) in 2009 and currently finishing an MA in Translation at Laval University. I have been a freelance translator for a little more than two years now and I am hoping to find an in-house position in any organization or company with an internal translation department or translation firm/agency in the near future.

My TED Story

My friend Martin Boháčik (Slovak translator here) told me about this site and as I have done voluntary subtitling for another non-profit organization before (Spanish into French), it got me interested.
