Inese Poga

Freelance translator

Canada

Perfect feeling of language performance 

Education:

Latvian University, Faculty of Modern languages, 1988, BA

Work experience: 

Since I relocated to Canada in July 2004, I have co-operated with various North American and European clients primarily in the realm of my expertise as noted in my profile. I have provided a high quality trustworthy reliable service and have not missed a single deadline with zero complaints. I implement quality assurance initiatives to meet the aforementioned objectives such as: extensive research work (effective application of search engines, online glossaries, dictionaries, thesauri, calls), proofreading by a native English speaker (LV>EN translations), careful reviewing of translation and specialist consultations.

My most valuable assets are my experience, personal features and the unique location. I live in the English-speaking part of Canada but still retain excellent native language skills. I am able to perform translations of outstanding quality because I am surrounded by English speakers in my everyday life yet still maintain constant contact with my native homeland.
