Languages

Her wide range of interests and experience make integration into a group relatively easy. In any case, her strong sense of humour will rapidly dissipate tensions and reticence.” - Nigel R., Head of Division, Directorate-General for Agriculture, Commission of the European Commission, Brussels, Belgium.

“Angela, Thank you so much for the prompt and very nice translation!... For the first time we have a true professional translation of our newsletter. So once again, MERCI BEAUCOUP or teri makasih (in Indonesian language)...Your great professional translation is now on our website.” - Denis M., President of ANAK Switzerland.

“We thank Angela very much for her translation of bulletin number 17. Indeed, the time and talent she has given to our association is very necessary...as necessary as monetary donations! Thank Angela on behalf of the entire Anak team.” - Christine G., International coordinator for ANAK and one of the three founders of Anak in 2003.

Editing

“Angela can be relied upon to be accurate, honest and smart. She brings a global perspective to her work and a great talent for language. I recommend her editing skills. She edited my second book with great skill and humour. I ended up with a far better product at the end of the process and also learnt a great deal about grammar ... If you want your articles or books to move from mediocre to smooth, streamlined, beautiful reading, get Angela to edit your work. She brings a salty sense of humour but also a very high standard of grammar, punctuation and general knowledge. She will make your writing sing. Angela is my secret!” - Jacoline L., Writer, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Photography

Your insight into colour and light brought out the highlights of the evening. Your professionalism and diligence helped make our day run that much more smoothly.” - Penny and David C., Vancouver, BC, Canada.
