MD, with 10 years of clinical practice as a neuropsychiatrist in Belgium (EU), and 15 years of experience as a physician working for the pharmaceutical and medical device industry with a specialty CRO in the US, native French speaker, truly bilingual and bicultural (EU-US), 10+ years of EN<>FR translation experience as a freelance specializing in the following fields: medical, clinical, pharmaceutical, social sciences, movies and literary texts.

Although living in the US for more than 25 years, I kept in close touch with my native French culture through reading books, newspapers (Le Monde Diplomatique), medical articles, and watching French television (TV5). I spend a great deal of my spare time watching movies/documentaries in French and in English. I also am an avid reader of French and English literature.

In addition to the medical/clinical/technical ad hoc translations I have done during my work as a consultant for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, my interest in translation was (and still is) entertained by my desire to share good (not translated) French movies/articles/books with my American friends and doing the same, in reverse, for my French-speaking family and friends. Due to the circumstances, I am daily navigating the two languages and cultures, and I find it fun and enriching.

I am very at ease with PC and Mac and their respective suites, and with different software applications. I am using WordFast Pro as CAT and Antidote 10 as editing software. I have a business-quality internet connection. My antivirus program (ClamXav) is always up to date and active on every machine I am using. I am a self-directed person, details and precision oriented and committed to respecting deadlines.
