About me
Born in Argentina of Italian parents, I was brought up in South Africa, and lived there for the last 35 years and I also travelled extensively throughout my life.

This life experience has given me a natural scope and background for the languages described. I consider them all to be 'my mother tongue' as I learnt them all before the age of 12.

I then formally studied these languages as part of a BA Languages (Romance Languages) degree at UNISA.
I expanded my skills at the University of Pretoria reading for a fine Fine Arts degree. Your work will therefore be formatted to the highest standard as I have an eye to get it to final proof.

I started out, as a young lady, at Adams & Adams patents attorneys as a Trade Marks researcher, playing with words, to get the best patent protection for my clients. As part of my Fine Arts education I studied copyright laws internationally.

I moved up to become the Mc Graw Hill editor in Johannesburg. I later resigned the long pressured hours to open my own business, and to raise 3 girls, now grown and out of the house.
I am a commensurate student, and I studied further courses in AutoCAD, Photoshop, and many other formats as decribed which can leave your translation to publisher's proof level.

I do translations on this site as a full time occupation, and treat my work with the utmost dedication.
I am multitalented, meticulous, and hardworking, I am also competitive with my rates, since I want to work ;-)
I hope this background will be sufficient to choose me because my qualifications are a winning combination.
