SUMMARY

With over 25 years of experience in translation and a
background in anthropology, I've mastered the art of delivering accurate
documents under tight deadlines. My expertise in using translation software,
my track record as a medical and legal translator and my bilingual/bicultural
skills, position me as a valuable asset. I'm eager to bring my attention to
detail, speed of delivery and reliability to new clients requiring a remote
linguist.
