SFT Full Member
UNETICA Member
CNET Member
A trained translator and interpreter, I have been working in professional translation for over ten years. After studying at the University of Algiers and specialising in legal and financial translation, I developed expertise covering the Arabic, English, and French language combinations in all directions.
My career has led me to work on diverse projects — international contracts, asylum proceedings, medical records, civil status documents — before founding AFTraduction in September 2022, initially as a subsidiary of the AFT group. AFTraduction has been independent of that group since January 2025. Today, as Chief Executive Officer, I lead a dedicated team and coordinate a network of over 700 professional linguists covering more than 200 languages and dialects in interpreting and 75 languages (127 combinations) in sworn translation.
Alongside managing the agency, I continue to practise personally as a translator and interpreter, particularly for assignments requiring judicial expertise or particular sensitivity in the medical and social fields.

About AFTraduction
Founded in September 2022, AFTraduction is a professional translation and interpreting agency based in Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis). The agency has been independent of the AFT group since January 2025 and is a member of the CNET (Chambre Nationale des Entreprises de Traduction).
AFTraduction operates its translation procedures in strict accordance with ISO 17100, without certification by an independent certification body. Its network of over 700 professional linguists covers more than 200 languages and dialects in interpreting and 75 languages (127 combinations) in sworn translation. Our services include sworn translation, specialised translation (legal, medical, financial, technical), telephone and on-site interpreting, as well as complementary transcription, subtitling, and voice-over services.
As founder and director, I designed AFTraduction around a fundamental principle: every translation must be carried out by a qualified professional, a native speaker, specialising in the relevant field. This requirement is reflected in a multi-stage quality control process — translation, revision by a subject-matter expert, and final validation — which guarantees the accuracy, terminological precision, and regulatory compliance of every deliverable.
