Why Me?
What makes you the best person for your job?
Bubbly, outgoing, quick learner, interested in everything I do, punctual, meticulous, flexible

What is your best project so far? Why?
Translating an abstract for a doctoral thesis. It was very technical (psychology based) and the French sentences were very long and complicated. My client was very satisfied with the outcome and we had a strong dialogue throughout the translation.


What do your students / customers say about you?
My students have always said they greatly enjoyed my classes, as I liked putting an emphasis on teaching English which was relevant to them, thus making them keener to learn. We discussed a wide range of topics together, and they seemed to enjoy my adaptability. My customers for translation have always been pleased with the level of my translation and the attention I take to establish clear criteria of what they want (e.g translating the website pimpyou.net, taking into account google keywords)
