To whom it may concern:

I have been a freelance translator for over seven years, and my experience

in the field allows me to assert with confidence that I have the necessary

self-drive to accomplish a multitude of tasks. Most recently, I completed

85% of the credits necessary for a Bachelor's degree from the Sorbonne

University of Law in Paris. Unfortunately, immigration proceedings I had

entered into obligated my return to the United States (2010), and I was not

able to complete the curriculum.

My translating experience includes legal documents submitted to the French

Courts of Appeals, novel translations, and website localization. Aside

from translations, I worked as Assistant to the Managing Director of the

law firm Avocats & Associ s. As assistant, I multi-tasked between my

functions as receptionist (filtering calls, receiving clients, updating

orders pertaining to office supplies, updating payroll, etc.), to

redactions and in-house translations of various legal documents submitted

to the French Courts of Appeals, including contracts, subpoenas, and

summons for our international clients. The fact that the firm entrusted me

with translating such sensitive documents attests to the level of

confidence they expressed in my work. I also juggled the tasks of

compiling/transmitting evidence between the legal parties, and performing

general research in jurisprudence.

My resume details my experience and contact information, and I would be

pleased to answer any questions you may have.
