About Me
With more than 17 years of experience in translation, interpreting, and cultural training, I specialize in facilitating seamless communication between speakers of English, French, and various West African dialects both in the U.S and internationally.
Growing up in Burkina Faso, a culturally and linguistically diverse West African nation, I was exposed to a diverse array of languages and traditions from an early age. This upbringing ignited my passion for languages and a deep appreciation for the intricate nuances that define human communication.
As a result, I’m on a mission to use the profound power of language to remove cultural, socio-economic and linguistic barriers.
