ABSTRACT:
The areas in which I have done most of my translating work are physical, mental and health sciences; pharmaceuticals, medicines and drugs; cosmetics; education and child development; international development, social sciences, and psychology; and food science.
My academic background includes university degrees in the social sciences, education, and special education. I specialized all nine years in international development. This formed the basis of my dissertation research and the subject matter for most of the university courses I taught. I have done coursework at the University of London and the International University in Geneva, Switzerland.
While studying child development, social psychology and social anthropology, I took a full complement of additional courses in physical and developmental anthropology which gave me a thorough grounding in physiology and human anatomy that I amplified and deepened by studying nutrition, health and food science over the past twenty years.
I am also a trained Professional Baker/LATTC: Cordon Bleu/CIA Program. Food science is one of my hobbies and I have done extensive translating for the wine and spirits industry.
I apply a systematic approach to all my work in academia, corporate marketing, technical writing, and translating. I approach the translation process along Six Sigma lines.
