Bio

Areas of specialization: medical, biology,  social sciences, social welfare; international development, humanitarian aid, human rights; business, tourism, education; academic documents, Vital records, and other certificates.

I am a U.S. citizen originally from New York, with English as my mother tongue. After living in Morocco from 1969 to 2014, I now live in Michigan, USA. 

Having started as a freelance translator in 1989 (combined with other work until 1/2003), I became  ATA- Certified for FR-EN in  2/1997. 

I taught  English as a Foreign Language to undergraduate and graduate students at Morocco's School of Library and Information Science for 17 years.

From 1994 to 2003,  I worked part-time at AMIDEAST as both a translator and educational advisor for Moroccan applicants to USA institutions of higher education. In 2003, I opted to focus on freelance translation.

USA Education and work experience: Bachelor's degree in biology  (Bryn Mawr College, 1961); Master's degree in Social Work (Columbia University, 1964); professional experience in mental health, youth corrections, and child welfare settings.
