Nora Bessaha-Connolly
Description
I have an International background and am a Native English Mother Tongue speaker with a Native fluency in French from France. I have both lived, studied and worked in Paris, France and now reside in New York City, NY USA. I utilize my Franco-American background and technical skills to create quality French Translations and my native fluency to Interpret for Asylum Interviews and cases. I work on Business and Legal Translations. As my experience of different professional projects might suggest I am a team player and work well with others. I adapt quickly to new working conditions and enjoy collaborations with my clients be they on the corporate level or individuals clients.
