Bio
A native speaker of American English, I learned to speak fluent German and French by living first in Germany, then Quebec (Canada) for long periods-- learning not only the languages, but also the associated cultures and rhythms of daily life. My studies in cognitive linguistics and cognitive science have provided me with expertise in the subject matter and terminology of a number of related academic domains in French, German, and English. My studies have also informed my translation technique through a deeper understanding of linguistic structure and meaning across languages.

I also hold a degree in computer science and have worked in a number of technical jobs bringing together computers and language. That experience included six years in video game localization at Ubisoft Montreal, one of the world's largest game studios producing some of the top-selling games on the market. As such, I am familiar with technical terminology in French and English in particular, and fully conversant with the many specific technical and linguistic constraints associated with translation and localization of video games.
