I am a Native English speaker who has lived in Taipei, Taiwan over 15 years. I am a New Zealand native and love all things outdoors. After more than a decade of teaching English and writing curriculum here in Taiwan, I continue to love writing. Whether creating content or translating, I value the words and phrases used to give meaning. Words and language have always interested me.  I studied Chinese in Taipei at the Mandarin Training Center on Shida Campus.  I use Chinese daily, both socially and professionally. With a blended family, I enjoy knowing and experiencing two cultures well. I am always interested in learning new things and developing new skills, and I seek to consistently grow. I hope to bring value to customers who need my skills.
