Educator/Teacher, Job-seeker, Scientist, Writer/Editor

Ecologist by training. Educator by vocation. Language has been my bridge between people, cultures, and ideas. As a TED Translator and language educator, I’m passionate about making knowledge accessible, inspiring curiosity, and encouraging people to see our world—and our place in it—with new eyes.

Nature, languages, learning, and the connections between them.

We protect what we understand, and we understand what we take the time to learn about.

TED brought together two passions that have shaped my life: science and language. As a TED Translator, I found a way to help ideas travel across languages and cultures—and to keep learning along the way.

I’m better at finding the right words for ideas than talking about myself.
