With a PhD in Applied Linguistics and over a decade of experience teaching and translating, I’ve spent much of my professional life exploring the intricate intersection of language, literature, and translation. I’m a firm believer that clear communication is an art form, whether I’m lecturing in a university hall or working on complex linguistic research. When I’m not working, I’m usually leaning into my favorite comforts. I’m a 35-year-old who thrives on the energy of a great rock anthem, the company of my dog, Dylan, and my husband, and the simple pleasure of a cold craft beer at the end of a long week.
