CV
Presentation :
Many years of experience inc supervision of translators at European Press Survey. Copy editing, rewriting and some original writing have all proved very helpful in producing good clear readable text. Writing and editing in the source languages plus residence in the countries concerned has given me depth of understanding. I have had professional or other experience of a very broad range of activities and environments.
