About me

French to English Translation
specializing in the
Textile, Clothing and Fashion Industries


As a dedicated self-starter, problem solver, and researcher with a passion for French and textiles, from the creation of the fibers and fabric, to the finished product, I offer years of personal experience working with textiles.

My skills include sewing, knitting (both by machine and by hand), crocheting, needlepoint, quilting, dyeing, and silk paintinig. I have also taught free-motion machine embroidery.

By studying all aspects of the textile industry, from the growth or manufacture of the fibers, to the spinning, weaving, and finishing of the textiles, whether done by the artist or craftsperson who works by hand or done by the mill or manufacturer using the most modern machinery, to the creation of garments or the industrial use of fibers, I am prepared to work on any type of textile related project.

Education
Bachelor's degree in French and in Music Education.
