She completed a PhD in translation studies and children’s literature at the Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3. Her dissertation focused on the way children’s literature enables both the reader and the translator to experience non-reified language, orality, identity and alterity – these questions are central to her research in translation studies (general literature and children’s literature). Currently, she is also an associate member of the PRISMES research laboratory (Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3). She is a literary translator, working from English to French: she has translated five works of contemporary fiction, and her latest translation will be published in October 2017 (Beyrouth Noir, Paris, éditions Asphalte).
