When I think about the origins of different languages, in the biblical sense, an idea pops into mind. God punished the people for building the Tower of Babel by confusing their languages and dispersing them throughout the earth. Subsequently, he actually facilitated the emergence of a new profession.

As Jorge Luis Borges said, “In general, every country has the language it deserves.”
Luckily, an essential part of my growing up took place in the UK. As a toddler in Manchester, English planted its wondrous roots in my mind and later, when going to school in London, it flowered to become as native to me as Hebrew was. In short, I was born in Hebrew and raised in English. I lived in Canada for over 3 years in my early 20s, where I gained the value of North American English.
This duo-fluency became an added-value that facilitated my landing the jobs I applied for.
After I provided language-related services as an employee in varied roles for many years, I realized that working with the two languages is what I enjoy doing most, so I decided to get a little educated, and graduated Yeda's Technical Communication course in 2006. With this additional skill in my pocket I felt confident enough to take the leap to independence and self employment, which is where I've been since.
I'm guided by integrity and my work is built on trust. Every job I commit to I do so wholeheartedly and reliably, because at the end of the day my products represent my clients, which reflects back on me.
