Joining the team in March 2020, Lena takes care of translations from English and Spanish into her native French.
Léna studied both in France and Spain and gained work experience in Ireland, then earned her master’s degree in translation, with a focus on audiovisual translation, at the University of Toulouse.
She spent time working with a translation agency in Toulouse as part of her degree. The same agency hired her once she had finished her degree, and in her role she specialized in medical and technical translation.
She then branched out as a freelance translator for a time, before joining the team here at ArtLingua.
When she’s not working on translation projects, she spends her time discovering the cultural delights of the city of Toulouse. She’s a foodie, and loves travelling to get a taste of international cuisines.
She’s a fantastic addition to the ArtLingua team, bringing her own knowledge to the table, whilst also being able to learn and benefit from Christèle’s extensive experience.
