Translation and writing skills

The arts of writing and languages have long been a passion and their practice has become part of my daily routine. I have constantly worked to gain a deeper knowledge in these fields, by studying Languages, Translation, Public Writing and Web Writing, and completing extra trainings to always improve my knowledge of written English and French. I aim to provide flowing and natural translations with excellent grammar and spelling.
