I was born in California and moved to Hawaii for my undergraduate studies in Pacific Islands Folklore. 

After graduation, I made my way to the south of France to teach English.

In France, I went back to school for a master's degree in Applied Languages and worked full-time as an in-house translator in Paris for over 6 years.

Thereafter, I moved to Spain to follow my husband and learned Spanish.

I offer translation from French and Spanish to English, and my main specialties include:

-expatriation

-international human resources

-legal

-business

-marketing

-manufacturing.

In total, I spent 15 years living, studying, and working in Europe.

With this background and curiosity, I bring a keen cultural awareness to my translations and writing.
