I am a French speaking Belgian with a degree in translation from the Ecole d'Interpretes Internationaux, Belgium. I have lived and studied in Belgium, the Netherlands, and the USA and worked in Costa Rica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic where I currently reside. Open-mindedness, multicuturalism and multilingualism best define me.

My main areas of expertise are (by order of importance): current events, geopolitics, education, human rights, country guides, events, tourism, marketing communications and user guides.

I am also a multilingual seo specialist, and have promoted numerous websites.

I am self-employed but able to rely on trustworthy partners when handling large projects. I am able to quote per page or for the whole project depending on customers' requirements.
