Bonjour!
I’m Anne — a triple‑culture juggler and retired mom with a relentless curiosity for smart systems and a serious work ethic. I’ve spent 30+ years translating and localizing English‑to‑French content. Born in France, built a life in the US, and married into Lebanese culture, I’ve lived at the crossroads of three worlds. That mix taught me one thing: language and culture don’t just connect, they shape each other.
I’ve dedicated my career to crafting technical content that’s accurate, functional, and culturally tuned so that French-speaking audiences ans users would not guess the technology they use was designed in America. Over the years, I’ve also built strong subject‑matter expertise in medical devices, working closely with manufacturers.
I combine old‑school translation discipline — terminology management, translation memory, the whole toolbox — with modern AI‑powered prompting to deliver reliability, nuance, and just the right French flair to carry your brand story across the Atlantic in one piece.

Giving back to the community and to a profession that gave so much to me:
Serving as vice-president of NOTA, the Northeast Ohio chapter of the ATA. I collaborate with Kent State University to design and organize professional development seminars.
Interim Assistant Administrator of the ATA Language Technology Division Leadership Committee. Our role is to present to the community technologies that empower translators and interpreters in their career development.
“Anne brings an extraordinary combination of linguistic expertise, intellectual curiosity, and technological adaptability to her work. As an English–French linguist, her command of both languages is unmatched, and she approaches every project with the rigor of a seasoned translator and the creativity of a true language artist. Her work is both technically impeccable and infused with a deep understanding of cultural nuance.”
