Bio
I HOLD A DIPLOMA IN ELECTROTECHNICS (MAJOR, ELECTRODYNAMICS)AND A DEGREE IN ELECTRICITY (MAJOR, POWER SYSTEMS)FROM L'ÉCOLE DE TECHNOLOGIE SUPÉRIEURE (UNIVERSITÉ DU QUÉBEC) AND RUN TCT/TRADUCTIONS NORD. I HAVE 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH TECHNICO-COMMERCIAL DOCUMENTATION / TENDERS / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DURING WHICH YEARS I DEVISED BUSINESS TEXTS FOR MAJOR TECHNOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT PROPOSALS IN FRENCH AND ENGLISH. BEFORE VENTURING IN TRANSLATION I TOOK A COURSE IN "PRÉCIS WRITING" AT McGILL UNIVERSITY.
SINCE 1998 I RUN MY OWN SMALL BUSINESS DOING FREELANCE TRANSLATION AND HAVE TRANSLATED A HOST OF INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY INSTALLATION/OPERATION/SERVICE MANUALS AND THESE HAVE BECOME A SECOND NATURE FOR ME.
MY SERVICE PRIORITY IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
