Bio

I have been working as a freelance/in-house translator since 2003. I have provided translation and interpretation services for over 7 years, on a full-time basis, to 2 of the top 10 energy companies in the world. During my first 7 years as a language professional, I have worked as a teacher and led an association of language professionals.  Currently, in addition to working as a freelance translator, I teach a short course on Translation Theory & Practice.

I have studied Languages, Linguistics, Literature, Translation and Interpretation in Africa, Europe and North America. I am majored in Education Sciences.
