Most translators specialize in certain fields: finance, legal, education, etc. As a former classroom teacher, I’ve specialized in education from the start of my translation business. I also work a lot with legal documents and art world publications. The past couple of years gave me the opportunity to work in new fields:
-Community health and wellness
-Agriculture and land use/land conservation
I shared a pie chart last year called “What I’m Working On”. Here’s an updated chart for 2022. This shows areas I’ve been working in:
I’m happy with how it’s all shaking out and look forward to continued work in these areas. I hope 2022 is treating you kindly!
