United States

Charlotte, North Carolina Area

I write about food and culture (see my website for full portfolio) and rigorously fact check and copy edit articles on a wide range of topics, including sensitive and controversial material.

I edit work by international journalists for grammar and syntax while maintaining authorial style and intent.

I provided and coordinated translation expertise to develop a groundbreaking set of translation standards and practices for global news. Translation for journalism is understudied and, unlike journalism ethics, news organizations rarely codify and make public their translation ethics. My work brings transparency to the translation process and prioritizes.
