After graduating from Université de La Réunion in 1999, Marie started teaching French and German in UK secondary schools. As well as teaching, she has completed many translation and proofreading projects in various domains, from technical manuals to cross-European government funded sociological research. She has recently directed her career path away from teaching and is now looking to work as a full-time freelance translator.
Juggling teaching and translation work involved a lot of commitment to working during evening, weekend and most school holidays. Marie has hence gained translation and proofreading experience and has developed excellent skills to provide excellent service as a translator. She is thorough and accurate and therefore can deliver work that is of high quality, respectful of the target audience and terminology. She prides herself in the fact that her work is very accurate and timely.
