ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS :

Resident in the American South West, I practiced in Santa Fe, New-Mexico, then in Southern California, I master the American idiom fluently & feel perfectly at ease with its technical & literary characteristics as well as with its colloquialisms, slang expressions & hispanicisms.

Appended professional experiences
Tender of an Art Gallery for several years I have an intimate knowledge of the Fine Arts lexicon. Caterer and manager of an international upscale delicatessen, I mastered a solid practice of the gastronomical, oenological and food industry lexicology. Supervisor of the largest apple ranch and its guest houses in Southern California, I acquired an extensive knowledge of agricultural and hotel trade vocabulary.

Personal expériences
Personal leanings & acquaintances in the anthropological spheres awarded me a sound erudition concerning the 1st nations. I took an active part in researches linked to the “Sun Dagger” project located in Chaco Canyon, aiming to establish the perception of season cycles, by solstice watching, among ancestral populations. I spend time on numerous occasions among the Pueblos communities established in the Rio Grande Basin, mainly in Taos.
