About me
ABOUT ME. . .
With 14 years experience teaching French Literature and Language at the secondary and post-secondary level, I am at ease working in both languages, whether translating French to English or English to French. Combined with over two decades experience in the business world (printing and publishing), and 15 years in academia, I offer a unique package of professional acumen for the commercial, educational and non-profit client. Having lived, worked and traveled in France, Francophone Africa and Polynesia over a career of thirty-five years, I bring a broad knowledge and familiarity with the nuances of a language's cultural "baggage." I am married to a French national and French is spoken as often as English in the home. As a published author of travel articles, literary reviews, and general interest stories, my translations aim to render not just the necessary, but when required, both the subtly nuanced and the polished eloquent.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND. . .
BA in French and Political Science, University of Kansas.
MA in French and Education, University of Oregon.

Evaluator for the University of Oregon's Center for Educational Policy Research national audit of World Languages, 2006-07.
