The right word is worth a thousand images.
I am an freelance translator with over 20 years' experience undertaking a wide range of projects. Translating from US or UK English into my native French language at an average of 2500 words per day, with strong discernment and problem-solving abilities, my education and publications project management experience allow me to offer high quality work and fast turnaround.
I provide services to a great variety of clients in the field of Humanities and Social Science among others, including scientific research reports and technical documents. I also produce copywriting and/or re-writing of draft documents.
On a personal note, as an efficient multitasker living right here and now, I also have a background in graphic design, fine arts and special needs education. In addition, I carry a QiGong instructor Certificate with experience in TCM.
