Please note: as I am a freelance employee in more of a contributing role, my client ArtEZ had final control over the published product(s) listed above. As such, many of the published articles are not my original writing, but a mix of heavily edited group contributions based on original writing in the document I offered my client.

I believe all assignments are unique and have their own specific context. I find effective translation and communications to be a bit like doing detective work: reading between the lines of what a language implies or what an interviewee says. I always consider all linguistic possibilities to ensure maximum fluidity before making final decisions.
I also do not hesitate to do my own thorough research on the topic(s) and contact my clients in advance to ensure I understand all possible implied context of the original language before submitting my final work.
