Hi all, I’m a Chinese American moved back to the States after living in China for a few years. I was born in China, lived in Texas for more than 20 years. As a translator, I have also traveled around the world. I can speak both English and Chinese with native fluency.

On the interpretation side, I am a licensed court interpreter and contract immigration court interpreter here in Texas. I am also a certified CATTI2 interpreter in China. Occasionally, I provide consecutive and simultaneous interpretation for conferences throughout the southern U.S. region.

Before becoming a professional translator, I worked in the finance industry for a number of years, specifically, in risk management and insurance pricing. For that role, I almost completed my actuarial designation (certification) as well.
