Suzie in a few words

A passionate French to English translator, I can help to take your message across language and cultural boundaries, safely delivering it to the English-speaking world. Whether it’s your website, internal documents, a book or a PowerPoint slide deck, I can bring your message to life in elegant, naturally flowing English.

I am a unique mix of the technical and the creative, with my background in computer programming and systems analysis, and my long-held love of languages and the arts.

With a first-class degree in French, a diploma in translation and a wealth of work experience in IT, financial services, insurance, manufacturing, higher education and the voluntary sector (amongst others), I am highly adaptable and incredibly quick to grasp new subjects.

What you get with me, beyond a great translation, is a safe pair of hands: communicative, responsive and utterly reliable.
