My journey into writing, editing, and translation began with a simple goal: to connect people, ideas, and cultures through clear and meaningful communication. With a background in international management and translation—and years spent living in both Europe and the United States—I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the nuances of language and culture. This perspective allows me to craft content that resonates with audiences around the globe.
Having worked with renowned brands like BobVila.com, Family Handyman, Reader's Digest, and Taste of Home, I bring a sophisticated yet approachable style to my work. Whether I’m refining an article, translating a document, or answering readers’ questions, accuracy and cultural sensitivity remain at the heart of everything I do.
I believe great writing should inform and inspire without ever making the reader feel like a number. My goal is to create content that truly connects, providing answers and insights with warmth and care.
