Concerned citizen, World traveler

I am a French translator, I have a Master's in Chinese and English translation from the University of Montpellier in France. I also have a Master's in Chinese literature and civilization. I have excellent writing, reading and comprehension skills in native and source languages. I have a cultural knowledge of English speaking countries and Asia-Pacific. I have a passion for books and movies, I would love to translate them all the time! I I have worked for a translation agency in Los Angeles where I translated various documents. I also worked as client care manager, so I have great time management skills. My main areas of expertise are: Arts (proofreading of a novel and artistic brochure for Art Basel Hong Kong), subtitling (as part of a course: extract from « Pirates of the Caribbean » and « balzac and the chinese seamstress »), terminology (as part of a course: paper on marine biology and pathologies of dolphins), architecture (translation of a brochure for an I-site in France).

I love to travel, I've been to the US and China. I just got back from New Zealand where I discovered another part of the world. I always have new ideas and new professional plans. I'm also a bookworm.
