CV
Presentation :
Graduating with a bilingual degree from the University of Ottawa in 1989, I pursued graduate courses in Philosophy until 1993 on an Ontario Graduate Scholarship, which included a university assistantship.
Since that time, I have worked in many different positions, always in French and English, teaching telephone technology and job training skills, designing large scale call processing systems, teaching French as a supply teacher in the public school system, working in public relations in the nuclear research field, collecting data for the Consumer Price index, conducting field audits as well as working in consulting conducting research and designing large scale market surveys, among others.
I have been working out of a home office for the last 5 years, running all aspects of large scale web-based seminars in social marketing for NGOs and special interest groups as well as providing freelance translation and editing services for the last two years.
A sampling of recent documents I have translated include: A Study in Urban Geography for the University of Montreal, documents for the Department of National Defence, The Congo Labour Code, Mining Code and Investment Code, as well as numerous contracts and proposal documents in information technology and telecommunications systems. A generalist, I have a background in many fields and am known for my ability to provide consistent, fast and quality translations and editing.
