\nI was born in Salamanca, New York (Western New York State)<\/p>\n
\nOwego, New York<\/p>\n
\nI started translating when I started studying Spanish in middle school. I was so curious about the process and enjoyed the research and problem solving components of translating. My interest continued as a hobby through undergraduate school, translating from Spanish into English and adding translation from German into English as well. I did not pursue translation professionally until graduate school; I completed a PhD in Translation Studies at Binghamton University and then started a commercial business as a freelance professional translator and editor.<\/p>\n
\nLiterary texts, memoirs and other genres of life writing, academic texts in the Humanities, food, travel, art history, and popular science texts about the natural world.<\/p>\n
\nI enjoy the community, support, and wealth of knowledge and experience that is shared in a supportive environment.<\/p>\n
\nI am a digital events calendar co-coordinator with Katrin Rippel Galati.<\/p>\n
\nI enjoy hiking, gardening, and spending as much time outdoors as possible. I also love reading classic literature and trying to keep up with recent publications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
