Amenyen Tradiktè yo nan California

I am armenian-lebanese, I had my education in Beirut, Lebanon in Arabic and French from K-12. At the university, the language of instruction was English. I have 2 bachelors degrees and M.A. in history. I came to the U.S. in 1988 and have been working as a secondary substitute teacher at L.A.U.S.D. for the last 11 years. During this time, I worked as an interpreter/translator for the courts, DMV, lawyers offices and private translation companies.

I am first and foremost an academician with Ph.D.s in History and Political Science, specializing in the Middle East. I teach at college and university (undergraduate) levels (for some 15 years now). I have worked as a journalist for more than 2 decades. I have done freelance translation since 1980 in Armenian, Arabic, and Turkish. I also do research in Classical Armenian and Ottoman Turkish. I am also a California Certified Real Estate Broker and a Certified Notary Signing Agent. For the past 5 years I have been involved in many translation/linguistic projects for the USA Federal Government in Washington DC and Overseas.
