I am a United States native, and I have been studying the Hmong language for almost 12 years. I have 12 years of experience in interpreting and 8 years of professional translating experience, along with an additional 3 years of experience doing volunteer translating. I am constantly studying to improve my skills, and I have had formal translation and interpreting training and I have obtained an AAS degree in translating and interpreting. I have also begun a study of linguistics to refine and polish my language skills. I am a licensed trainer of The Community Interpreter, an interpreter training program, and I also do interpreter testing. I have an OPI rating of Superior for both English and Hmong. I am currently serving as an SME for CCHI as well.

I have come to love and appreciate the Hmong culture so much and I have immersed myself in it to improve my understanding of the people behind the words. I love to read, and fitness is my passion. I am an obsessive perfectionist which lends itself well to this field! Though I am not a native Hmong speaker, there is hardly anyone as passionate about studying the Hmong language or as diligent about it as I am. My assistants and proofreaders are all native Hmong speakers and together we provide translations of the highest quality.
