Bonjour!
I’m Anne, a triple culture juggler retired Mom with an endless curiosity about smart systems paired with strong work ethics. I have been an English‑to‑French Translator and Localizer for over 28 years. Born and raised in France, I moved to the US in 1995 with my Lebanese husband. Bringing two cultures together under one roof while building a life in a third has been both challenging and unexpectedly enriching. This experience has given me the ideal perspective to appreciate how deeply language and culture are intertwined.
I’ve dedicated my career to crafting technical content that’s linguistically precise, functionally flawless, and culturally tuned so that French-speaking audiences would not guess the technology they use was designed in America.
Originally trained as an engineer, with early‑career Quality Assurance experience in industrial settings, I bring a rare blend of technical insight and admiration for human ingenuity to every project. I combine old‑school translation discipline — terminology management, translation memory, the whole toolbox — with modern AI prompting wizardry to deliver reliability, nuance, and just the right amount of French flair to carry your brand story across the Atlantic in one piece.
