How I became a medical science translatorScience fascinates me. It fuels my natural curiosity about the world on the macroscopic and universal level, and everywhere between.
My real loves, though, are language and writing. From writing detective stories in my pre-teens to writing French research papers on literature in my late 20's. I've always worked closely with words. Roughly 6 years ago, I started my translation business, and I saw an opportunity to tie my scientific and artistic passions together. Am I French? No. Am I a scientist? No. Just an American from Oklahoma who wanted to explore beyond her familiar hometown. I bring to my work a BFA in Theater, an MA in French, a year in Guadeloupe and a summer in France, and a variety of skills acquired during my explorations. I’m grateful to be doing what I love and contributing to the field of medical science. |
