French-to-English Translation

More than a translator, a communications partner.

The fact that I'm a translator and a communications professional means I'm not just thinking about replacing one word with another, but how to make your content really connect with English-speaking audiences.

Language Services

How will the translation convey your unique voice, and how does it fit into your broader communication goals? Who will read the translation, and what do they care about? These are some of the questions that guide my approach to every translation project.

  • Translating your existing French materials (web copy, brochures, articles, exhibit text) into English that reads like it was written for an English-speaking audience from the start.

  • Polishing English-language materials drafted by non-native speakers, preserving your voice while giving the final text the fluency and ease of a native writer.

  • For organizations that need more than an accurate translation: rebuilding a message in English so it resonates with a new audience, culturally and editorially, not just linguistically. This is where translation and strategy meet, and it's the work I love most.

Do you have a project that relates to expanding your reach with English-speaking audiences? I'd love to hear about it.

Specialty Areas

Arts & Culture

My experience in arts and culture includes working at a New York City art museum and school, as well as translating content for a museum in Paris. I’m passionate about bringing stories to life across borders and can help with exhibition copy, press releases, wall panels, catalogs, brochures, websites, and more.

Education & Academia

With over ten years of experience leading communications at an independent school, I understand the needs and priorities of the sector. My translation experience ranges from academic transcripts to historical articles for scholarly research. I can help with school and university websites, theses, academic articles, books, transcripts, and more.

Marketing

I’ve spent nearly two decades creating communications and marketing materials in-house, so I understand what it takes to make a campaign really sing in American English. I can help translate social media posts, newsletters, websites, brochures, blogs, press releases, and more.

Institutional & Nonprofit

Having spent years working embedded within nonprofit communications teams, I understand how crucial it is to convey impact across languages. My experience spans translating for asylum seekers and crafting compelling fundraising appeals and annual reports. I can help with annual reports, donor communications, grant materials, fundraising campaigns, legal and official documents, press releases, and more.

Food & Wine

Fun fact: one of my first jobs was in marketing for a sustainable seafood company… so I guess that makes me a fishmonger? I’ve also worked as a food blogger and in food service, and have a passion for cooking and baking in my daily life. I bring that industry experience and enthusiasm to translations of menus, recipes, social media and blog posts, websites, brochures, product descriptions, and more.
