Philosophy
As a translator, it is my goal and desire to be the bridge that links cultures. By
providing high level linguistic support to those who require it, I become the bridge
that links the culture in which I was born and raised in, and the culture that as an
adult adopted me with open arms. My multicultural life experiences are the key
to providing an open minded perspective that is adaptable and coveys the
meaning from the original text into the translated version.
