In 2001 I earned a graduate certificate in translation and translation editing from Tel Aviv University, and in 2012 a diploma in translation from the IoL Educational Trust, UK.

From time to time I attend webinars on proz.com, and for three years I have attended a lecture-series on poetry, translation, Hebrew Literature, and more, at Tel Aviv University, Faculty of the Humanities.

I started working as a freelance translator in 1987 when I received an offer for a contract from the OR-AM Publishing House. I worked for them until 1998, translating romances, detective stories and non-fiction. In 2000 I translated books and handbooks by the New Israel Fund, for use in workshops dealing with methods of conflict resolution.

Since 2012 I have been translating on a regular basis for the Trump Foundation which works to advance the teaching and learning of Science and Math in Israeli high schools. Among other things I translated for the Trump Foundation several articles and reports; an article by Lee S. Shulman entitled: Truth and Consequences? Inquiry and Policy in Research on Teacher Education; and an article by Anthony S. Bryk entitled: Organizing Schools for Improvement; as well as extensive parts of the 2012 report: Education for Life and Work, Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century, published by the National Academies Press.

Over the years I have translated several wills and trusts originating from the U.S. for filing in probate proceedings. These can be tens of pages long with lots of technical jargon, much of which has no equivalent concepts in Hebrew and required extensive research.

I am a continuous learner of English and Hebrew, as well as general knowledge.

In 1991 I took a 1-year course (1 weekly full day throughout the year) of Hebrew copy editing at Beit Berl College. I have also completed courses in Israel's Open University in the history of the Hebrew language and an introductory course to the Bible.
