I work mainly as a literary translator, but I sometimes touch upon other genres of texts, such as scientific publications or brochures for tourists. Most of the time I translate from Finnish to French, but I have also translated from Swedish or Russian.
I have been working as a freelance translator since 2020, but translating has always been part of my life and education. I grew up in a bilingual French-Finnish environment in Paris, and languages have been a passion of mine. I have later studied multiple foreign languages and literature, and lived in a few European countries where I picked up new languages.
I offer translation services mainly from Finnish, Swedish, Icelandic or Russian into French. I can also proofread your texts in French or help you edit them. I have also held translation workshops for Finnish high school students studying French. Contact me for more information.
