David Hagen
French-to-English Translator/Editor and English Copywriter
« In many ways, translators are ambassadors to the peoples of the world. ”
It’s hard to pigeonhole David as just a translator when he is such an accomplished copywriter, editor, and reviser—and humanitarian. A British Columbia native, he moved to Quebec City as a young man to study French and political science. After graduating, he and his wife traveled to Thailand, where they taught French in a Vietnamese refugee camp for two years. Before returning to Quebec City, they spent time in Montreal, where David completed an M.A. in political science at McGill University.
David joined Anglocom in 1996 after a stint with the Ontario Delegation office in Quebec City. Since that time, he has worked for virtually every Anglocom client, lending his keen intellect, advanced literacy skills, and ready energy to every task at hand.
