My background

I'm Irish and originally qualified as an International Travel Consultant (IATA/UFTAA) in Dublin before relocating to France. Passionate about travel and working in an International environment, I have gained considerable experience from working as a Bilingual PA with high level executives in Paris for over 25 years, working for well known companies : Disneyland Paris (leisure), Baker & McKenzie (legal), Deloitte & Touche (tax & legal), Vogue Magazine (US) (advertising, fashion & press industry), PricewaterhouseCoopers (HR consulting), Herbalife (cosmetics/food supplements) and BNParibas (finance). Now I envisage an exciting future in this International VA industry.

Being based in Dubai, it is reassuring for me to know that I have Ashling as reliable support based locally in France with an in depth knowledge of procedures and customs. She is highly communicative, updating me on tasks throughout ! I would highly recommend her services".

"Superb support! I contacted Ashling to help me out on some translation support - she was quick to respond and I was immediately reassured by her professional but also friendly manner. She understood my needs and helped me navigate through some complex online and on the phone forums to get the information I needed. Ashling went the extra mile including staying on the phone to authorities until late on a Friday night to help me get the information I needed. I will definitely get in contact with Ashling anytime I need translation help and I strongly recommend her".
