Having lived and worked in France for fourteen years now my level of French is such that I have been able to register as a self employed translator specialising in French to English. Being resident in the country means that I am familiar with the administrative challenges that living here can pose. I am awaiting accreditation as a sworn, court appointed translator.
    I currently have a number of French students whom I coach in English, offering them a structured 32 hour course in the basics of the language, tailoring lessons to suit individual clients.
    My writing skills are very good and I can produce articles on a number of topics providing concise text where needed for websites or advertising.
    I also work in proof reading and have an excellent command of my native English and a good eye for detail.
    I founded and am currently co-chairman of an association of French and English speaking embroiderers and textile artists, running the club bilingually.
    Textile art is my passion and I hold the City and Guilds level three diploma in stitched textiles. I have taught workshops here for a number of years, covering traditional and freestyle techniques. I have exhibited locally and have run workshops at the Jersey Textile Showcase. I have taken commissions for design and for making textile pieces.
    I do not use automated embroidery machines and so do not work with digitized images.
    Owning and managing our Breton gîte, Ty Louisette, is a joy as I love to create a home from home for our guests and it is always a joy meeting both new clients and regulars from many different countries. We also own and manage a number of long term rental properties in the region and I have experience in renovation, rental contracts and French paperwork.
