Throughout the working history, I have done translation and interpretation jobs as part of my positions. This included a variety of fields: business / commerce, education, environment / ecology, human resources, IO / DC, psychology, journalism.

I provide translation that is true to the original - adjusted, in the target language, to the desired language level and to the intended readers.
