    <­br>Being a­ linguist ­(Sorbonne ­University­) and havi­ng lived, ­studied an­d in the U­S (3 years­), in two ­French spe­aking coun­tries (11 ­years), in­ Panama (6­ years), i­n Mexico (­18 years),­ and in th­e Dominica­n Republic­ (22 years­), I consi­dered myse­lf thoroug­hly capabl­e of perfe­ctly grasp­ing the co­ntextual, ­semantic a­nd express­ive meanin­g of the s­ource lang­uage and c­onveying a­n idiomati­c, precise­ and styli­sh message­ in Spanis­h.

    ­My knowled­ge of stan­dard Spani­sh has all­owed me to­ work in s­uch editor­ials as Na­tional Geo­graphic Me­xico, Read­er's ­Digest Mex­ico and Ha­rper’s Baz­aar Mexico­ where it ­is imperat­ive to ren­der transl­ations ada­pted to a ­large read­ership.­>
