Bio
I'm a professional trilingual translator who has experience in marketing, fashion and human resources and who has specialized in the field of medical and pharmaceutical translation through my guided research project entitled “Traduction commentée de trois articles de synthèse portant sur le trouble d'anxiété généralisée” for the master's degree.
