My Professionnal background
Today
Translator of astrological texts from English to French
As an experienced translator and an astrologer, I am currently working on the translation in French of a XVIIth century book of astrology and I am looking for new projects to work on.
2020 - 2023
Sophrologist | Astrologer
After getting a degree in relaxation therapy (sophrology), I started to work with clients at the beginning of the Covid crisis. The lockdowns and lack of client left me with plenty of time to study astrology more seriously and to start reading charts for family and friends.
2013 - 2019
Translator | Writer
For six years, I have led various freelance projects: first creating websites, then working for companies on algorithms for some of the most popular search engines, translating marketing documents for different companies around the world and writing or editing articles for clients. Working from home made it easier for me to manage a busy family life since I am a mother of 3.
2010 - 2012
Software engineer | University of Angers, France
I was recruited for a 2 year mission in the Carrer Center of the University of Angers where I would have to take part in the counselling mission of the service, meeting students regularly to help them with orientation and career, and coordinating a group within the faculty to create an institutional website to facilitate making professional connections for students and alumni and help them find jobs and trainings in accordance with their qualifications.
Education
2019-2020

This certification program provides a theoretical and practical knowledge of various relaxation techniques including breathing techniques, visualization, and body movements (Yoga). The program also include counselling tutoring and a basis in psychology to help the practitioners in their work with clients. We also learn to adapt the techniques to the needs of the client.
2009 - 2010
Université d'Angers | Masters Degree in Science Technology and Health, CSI Specialty
This Master’s degree gave me the skills essential to becoming a software engineer including project management classes and computer programming. Working in a group project for a student organization during my studies gave me the opportunity to work for the University as a Software Engineer as soon as I graduated.
2005 - 2009
Université d'Angers | Master's dergree Business and Foreign Languages - English and Spanish
This immersive four-year program included advanced languages skill development, cultural and economic understanding of foreign countries according to the specialty chosen by the student, as well as a business course block (marketing and management classes), professional immersion in compagnies and nonprofit organizations and studying or working abroad for a minimum of 3 month to be eligible for graduation. I chose to study in the US for a year at the University of Central Missouri (2007-2008). And I spent 3 months working in Barcelona, Spain (June 2009 to September 2009).
This Business and languages background provided me with solid foundations to manage my own business and of course to work with languages.
Special skills and fields of expertise
I have been an astrology enthusiast for a long time, and I have been studying astrology via online courses and reading of a large amount of books, mainly in English, on the topic. I have also studied a number of astrological charts to make the theory into practice.
I regularly attend webinars and courses of The Astrology University. I also would like to give a shout out to The Astrology Podcast by Chris Brennan, which is a really valuable source to learn astrology and has helped me learn a lot faster. I highly recommend his book Hellenistic Astrology, the Study of Fate and Fortune which is a very good basis to understand Astrology and its history.
I am currently preparing to get an NCGR-PAA certification which is a recognized international Astrology certification.
I am also fond of music and play the guitar, some piano and I am trying to learn the violin. I practice archery and have been practicing Yoga and meditation daily for more than ten years. I love writing anything from articles on Astrology to fiction short stories.
