Why Me?
What makes you the best person for your job?
attention to detail, perfectionist, experienced, dependable, flexible, wide range of knowledge topics but know my limits.

What is your best project so far? Why?
I have been translating forms and letters to parents for the school for a number of years, which I update as needed. I am always scouting for better ways to translate phrases and ideas. I am an "automatic" editor--I can't 'not' correct written work.


What do your students / customers say about you?
Serious, "picky," patient, knowledgeable, know about a lot of subjects
