Bio

I work to ensure that information, ideas, and feelings communicated in writing are successfully conveyed or shared between human beings.


I specialize in translating, proofreading, post-editing:

This involves any or all of the following steps:

  • Proofreading for accuracy, meaning, fluency, style, grammar, spelling, terminology, consistency, formatting and visual aspects
  • Localizing necessary aspects
  • Editing for cultural aspects
  • Content editing as needed or requested
