I am a seasoned English-mother-tongue bilingual-communications specialist with extensive experience in energy, finance, diplomacy and publications.
From my family of writers, journalists, artists, musicians and language teachers, I have inherited an insatiable curiosity for knowledge, an incurable love for words, a dogged perseverance for precision, and a knack for quality and aesthetics. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations and two Master of Arts degrees in Translation & Interpreting (Johannesburg & Strasbourg), and worked as an in-house translator, then consultant, for six years in Paris before flying solo in 2014.
My grandmother Dorothy Jacobsohn was a decorated morse transcoder in South Africa under General Jan Smuts during the Second World War. The company name On The Dot Comm is in her honour.
