Values and Commitments


Integrity

It should go without saying, but I prefer to spell it out. Integrity is one of my primary values.

If I’m offered a project doesn't fit my expertise, I won’t take it on. Better for you to work with a translator whose specialization fits what you need right from the start.


Ethical Conduct

Professional standards and accountability are also core values, and I maintain active memberships in translator’s associations in France as well as in the US.

More information here: Code of Ethics.


Confidentiality

Likewise, confidentiality is key to a working relationship built on trust. Any sensitive business and personal information that you share are only used within the context of our project and not distributed to other people.

I also use Tresorit, an end-to-end encrypted cloud service, to safeguard my files and back-up projects on a daily basis.

Professional Development

Like you, I understand the importance of staying abreast of developments in my industry and changes in how people do business. I strive to refine my processes and acquire additional skills that will increase the value I provide through my services.

“To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.”
