About Me

I’m quite industrious, diligent, pay attention to detail thus providing an excellent, epic and product of the highest quality.

I can work well as a team member and in a supervisorial role - I have worked in both roles previously and excellently so.

I can’t wait to be of value to your organisation/company and share my vast and valuable experience. Thanks

This is how I continue my learning in my area of expertise

I read as many books as I can possibly can as well as watch current TV productions to see and learn current trends and subtitling styles.

By chatting with other linguists to share various experiences we’ve encountered in our line of work.

This is how I solved a recent terminology, style, or linguistic challenge

I have a vast and experienced pool of linguists on my contact list and they’re a phone call away for me to confirm any term or expression I’m not familiar with.
