Originally from Angers in the west of France, I left my hometown to go to university. Equally interested in literary translation and the performing arts, I studied first in Rennes and later in Paris before setting off on my first trip to Italy. It would be the beginning of an intense and sometimes stormy relationship with the Bel Paese. Once I had my degree under my belt, I jumped on the first plane to the Eternal City.

I divided my time between Italy and France for many years, including a wonderful spell in the Scottish capital, Edinburgh, where I perfected my English and enjoyed the city’s fabulous cultural festivals. I returned to Rome in 2011, where I continue to live today, a few steps from the picturesque Garbatella.

Born at the crossroads of two cultures, halfway between Africa and Europe, I know full well that a language is made up of more than just words. A language has a soul, an imagination and even a sense of humour, all of which go into its successful translation.

I invite you to explore these pages to learn more about me.

Welcome, and... bonne visite!
