Bio

I am a full time English to French translator, specializing in technical fields – particularly IT, Medical, automotive, mechanical and electrical. I am also extremely knowledgeable in business management and marketing-related fields. I was born in Mboébo, Cameroun. After a Baccalauréat A4 Espagnol at Lycée classique de Bafang, I went to the University of Buea where I obtained a BA in Combined Honours in English and French in 2014. I then went to ASTI (Advanced School of Translators and Interpreters) I came out with an MA in Translation in 2016.

Before then, I had been a freelance translator for several private clients mostly in the IT field. I then got recruited by TransPerfect (with which I still work now) for a large Subtitling project. They later hired me as a freelance translator for several clients including Johnson & Johnson, Biogen, WHO, and more.

I also work for thebigword where I mostly work on the IT field (Xerox, IBM and Lenovo). 

Please contact me for more details.
