Mid-career, after a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/h%C3%A9l%C3%A8ne-wilkinson-34467316\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">variety of positions and sectors<\/a>, I decided to build on my experience in translation and turn it into a full-time activity. A few years later, I chose to broaden my skills base and added a Master\u2019s in translation from ESIT (\u00c9cole sup\u00e9rieure d&#8217;interpr\u00e9tariat et de traduction in Paris, France) to my training portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coming from a mixed French and British background, I\u2019ve lived and worked in both countries. I was a consultant and manager in healthcare, higher education, the legal industry and in a research centre. Some of these positions involved translation work but I also learned about nurturing a good client relationship, working to a deadline and charging a fair price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/h%C3%A9l%C3%A8ne-wilkinson-34467316\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wilkinson.fr\/helene\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LI-Logo-1024x250.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1038\" width=\"192\" height=\"47\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wilkinson.fr\/helene\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LI-Logo-1024x250.png 1024w, http:\/\/wilkinson.fr\/helene\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LI-Logo-300x73.png 300w, http:\/\/wilkinson.fr\/helene\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LI-Logo-768x187.png 768w, http:\/\/wilkinson.fr\/helene\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LI-Logo-1536x375.png 1536w, http:\/\/wilkinson.fr\/helene\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LI-Logo-2048x500.png 2048w, http:\/\/wilkinson.fr\/helene\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LI-Logo-1272x311.png 1272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s never been easier to keep two cultures alive and well, wherever the physical location.
