My start in translation was thanks to a mentor - and now it's become something I'd like to give back. This industry is constantly changing, but the basics remain the same: delivering top quality results and staying organized on the administrative end. Over the last 5 years, my income as a freelance translator has steadily increased and I am also giving back by mentoring up and coming translators and industry professionals - here on Proz, and other virtual linguist hangouts!
