Julie Maillardet

Julie Maillardet

Contact person and project manager for your translations.

With roots in both French- and German-speaking Switzerland, Julie bridges the so-called “Röstigraben”, the cultural and linguistic “trench” between the two regions, with ease.
Her passion for languages initially led her to study translation and then carried her into the field of project management. While she can fully live out her enthusiasm for languages in her professional career, her free time is dedicated to striking a healthy mental balance, spending much of her time out in nature and in the company of animals. On the farm and up in the mountains are where she finds relaxation and recreation.
