About me:
My most valuable assets are my experience, personal features and the unique location. I live in the English-speaking part of Canada but still retain excellent native language skills. I am able to perform translations of outstanding quality because I am surrounded by English speakers in my everyday life yet still maintain constant contact with my native homeland. I have mastered patience working as a teacher and I love to tackle difficult tasks and seek answers to all questions which appear during the translation process. I prefer quality to quantity and never take up a job which has to be completed in an unreasonably short time. All outsourcers appreciate my ability to deliver assignments on time and polished to a good condition which has resulted in numerous translation assignments and long-lasting co-operation with many agencies.
