I can deliver speedy turnaround in Legal, Financial, French-to-English translations, General and Children's literature editing. I have worked extensively in the Entertainment and Legal industries.
I have 7 years experience in legal settings, including corporate, litigation, trusts & estates and international law. Compliance with deadlines and accuracy are fundamentally required. I currently work for 2 litigators and a trust & estates/international lawyer. I worked as an adjunct professor after college for a couple of years, teaching grammar and composition; I changed my career path when I became discouraged by the lack of motivation in students to learn to write and speak well. I also translate documents from French to English, having studied French for 6 years--3 at the college level. I worked for 12 years writing and editing documents for an animation studio. These documents included pitch materials using both text and picture elements, which required knowledge and facility in PhotoShop and MS Word, as well as MS PowerPoint and Excel. I am the author of 8 published children's books, and I edited 20+ others for publication. I graduated magna cum laude (GPA 3.79) and was chosen by the English Department of my school to be the Senior English Honors Student (one named each year). In high school, I was valedictorian and as a National Merit scholar was the recipient of a four-year scholarship with paid 100% of my college expenses (and even left me with a few dollars left over for a clothing allowance).
