I am a French speaking Belgian with a degree in translation from the Ecole d'Interpretes Internationaux, Belgium. I have lived and studied in Belgium, the Netherlands, and the USA and worked in Costa Rica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic where I currently reside. Open-mindedness, multicuturalism and multilingualism best define me.
My main areas of expertise are (by order of importance): current events, geopolitics, education, human rights, country guides, events, tourism, marketing communications and user guides.
I do not translate automotive, legal or otherwise medical documents of any type because I do not have any expertise nor feeling for those subject matters. I also have done my fair share of SAP related material, and prefer to forget about this type of jobs.
I am also a webmaster and multilingual website promotion specialist, therefore I believe I am a pretty good candidate to translate websites and I can provide consulting services to improve your site's traffic. That's one of the things I do best, but just don't take my word for it.
*SEO stands for Search Engine Optimizer
I am self-employed but able to rely on trustworthy partners when handling large projects. I am able to quote per page or for the whole project depending on customers' requirements.
