I fell in love with languages when I took my first French class as a young teenager. I went on to earn a bachelor's degree in French language and culture, teach English in France, and learn Finnish through an 18-month full-time volunteer missionary role in Finland. My work in translation project management and in technical writing prepared me to go freelance as I proofread a wide variety of documents, drafted user manuals and release notes, and gained proficiency in CAT tools. I'm a lifelong lover of the performing arts, having received extensive training in theater and dance, as well as an avid gamer. I believe that quality content must be written clearly, so as to not merely be understood, but to erase all possibility of misunderstanding by the target audience. If something isn't done nice, it must be done twice. I save clients time and money by delivering a quality product the first time around. |
