In addition, I've been Lead Translator for a close-knit group of qualified translators for the past 10 years. Each translator is a specialist in a certain field and has more than three years experience. We've worked on some really challenging, time-sensitive projects that required commitment, consistency and tight quality checks.
In addition to their translation credentials, my associates have degrees in fields like Information Technology, Life Sciences, Engineering, Social Sciences, Business and Law.
