A sole proprietorship, Paula Gordon, doing business as Plan B, provides translation and related services to agencies and direct clients. I have been translating professionally since 1998 and proofreading and copyediting since the early 1990s. I earned a paralegal certificate in 2008 from an ABA-accredited paralegal program at Widener University Law Center Legal Education Institute. As an experienced freelancer, I am flexible and cooperative and I understand the importance of maintaining open communications and meeting deadlines. My prior experience is in technical theater, production management, and humanitarian aid, and I have worked in many countries in a variety of situations, with a diverse assortment of partners. My interest in science and medicine and my affinity for mechanics and do-it-yourself projects allow me to translate and edit general text about a wide range of subjects. I possess a rich reservoir of knowledge and experience, the self-motivation and communication skills to work alone or as part of a team, and the organizational ability to keep any project on track and on time.
