About Me

Sworn translator and interpreter for over 25 years, across France, Switzerland, and Lebanon.

My Background

As a court-appointed sworn translator and interpreter at the Courts of Appeal of Chambéry (France) and Baabda (Lebanon), I have been practicing for over 25 years in French, Arabic, and English. I specialize in the translation of official, legal, notarial, and real estate documents.

My fifteen years of experience in Geneva within the United Nations system and diplomatic missions have enriched my institutional translation practice. My professional experience in real estate enables me to accurately convey the terminology of deeds and construction projects.

My experience as a project manager in construction and renovation, from contractor coordination to on-site monitoring, also allows me to accurately convey the technical terms used on construction sites.
