WHO I AM

A translator accountable for every word

Specialisation is learned. Deep understanding is lived.

For nearly two decades, I have translated documents that shape lives — from clinical trials and UN texts to international contracts and official personal records. In 2024, I stepped inside a hospital for a full year, working within two clinical units to understand, from the inside, the human weight behind every document I translate.

Since 2024, I have also been pursuing a PhD in Translation Studies at Université Laval — because every word I choose rests on a foundation I keep building.

MY APPROACH

A translation philosophy built on Responsibility

I do not translate words. I transfer meaning — with full awareness of the regulatory, cultural, and human context in which it will land.

The texts I translate carry real stakes. Precision isn’t just a professional virtue — it’s a human responsibility.
