Science and language fascinate me. 

Science fuels my natural curiosity about the world on the microscopic, macroscopic, and universal levels. It leads me to discoveries that allow me to make sense of life.

I use language to share such discoveries with clients, friends, and anyone interested in hearing them.

From writing detective stories in my pre-teens to writing French research papers in grad school, I've always been comfortable with words.

Roughly 6 years ago, I started my translation business, and I saw an opportunity to tie my scientific and linguistic passions together.

Am I French? No. Am I a scientist? No. Just an American from Oklahoma who wanted to explore beyond her familiar hometown. 

My work is supported by a BFA in Theater, an MA in French, a year in Guadeloupe, a summer in France, and a variety of skills acquired from pushing my boundaries, failing, learning, and getting back up to do it all again.
​
I’m grateful to be doing what I love and contributing to the field of medical science.
