Why Me?
What makes you the best person for your job?
I'm passionate about writing, translating and editing. After 23 years I still can't wait to sit down in front of my computer every morning.

What is your best project so far? Why?
I can't answer that one. It might be the single line I wrote for an online bank ad, or the 350-page manual on small business development I translated. Different horses, different criteria for deciding what is good...


What do your students / customers say about you?
He may not be the fastest around, but his work is always worth the wait.
