Every blog needs an introduction post…

Some background is in order, so here goes…

My name is Marie-Frédérique, I have been a French freelance translator since 2014. Before that, I was a project manager in the same industry for four years. Since last September, I am also a full-time MA student again – in Technical Communication & E-Learning – at the University of Limerick, Ireland.

I had mixed feelings about going back to university after eight years, somehow feeling less prepared than the first time when university was in the continuity of high school. But now, I feel more receptive and more ready. Being able to draw from my professional experience and to match what I learn with career goals gives me a clearer sense of purpose.

For example, this blog’s purpose is to reflect on what I learn during this MA, but in my case, it will also force me to step out of my comfort zone and share my own thoughts and contents publicly. This shall be my personal goal. [cue the “I don’t know what I’m doing” dog meme]

I hope the writing process gets easier. I’ll let you guess how long this first post took…
