Experienced Consultant, Writer and Interpreter
After twenty years in Paris, I decided that it was time to head back to sunny South Africa and my home province of the Eastern Cape. I started Business-Affaires in 2010. I have since been testing my European experience in South Africa as a freelance translator, researcher and writer.
