My diverse background includes studying French (MA from University of Louisville), fine arts (BFA from Stephens College), translation (Bellevue College), and medical science (over 5 years translating clinical trial documents).

I grew up in Oklahoma and, at 18 years old, I left to explore and add color to my life. I have lived in Seattle, Guadeloupe, Washington D.C., and Louisville. I have been (and always will be) a teacher, barista, martial artist, freelancer, graduate student, and more.

So, when I started my  translation business in my 30’s, the goal was to combine all of my skills and have a flexible job that would support my free spirit.

You won’t find another person like me. I have heart and determination. I learn from my failures. Oh, and I love Brazilian jiu jitsu.
