I was always infatuated with languages and fascinated by the alchemy of words.

Growing up, I translated English stories for my 70-something grandmother.

I dabbled in poetry, studied literature, dreamed of writing a novel, and finally went on to pursue translation in Paris.

Life among Parisian snobs taught me to deal with constant rejection, resist passive smoking, and survive copious amounts of alcohol.

Little did I know, the Universe was deviously marinating me for a life in advertising.

Today as a copywriter on my third continent, I still work in translation. Only now, I translate brands into emotions.
