I grew up bilingual in Taiwan with both Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese spoken at home. Life and events had brought me opportunities to live in the US, Russia, and China. I currently maintain two residences in Portland, Oregon, USA, and Krasnoyarsk, Russia.

I have been providing interpretation and translation services on and off for the past 20 years. Most language pairs provided are Chinese to English and English to Chinese. I am proficient in both traditional and simplified Chinese. I can also provide intermediate level of Russian to Chinese or Russian to English.

Examples of work performed:

-proof-read engineering proposals and drawings
-websites and metadata
-Powerpoint marketing presentations for the forestry industries (English to simplified and traditional Chinese):
-Training manuals, forms and company policies (English to simplified Chinese);
-Various legal documents, including Certificates of Accuracy and websites used for legal exhibits (traditional and simplified Chinese to English);
-Email correspondence, business documentation and oral interpretation (between Mandarin Chinese and English);
-Richmond Picture Dictionary (English to traditional Chinese);
-Awards, birth and marriage certificates, petition support letters, educational degrees (between English and simplified Chinese); and
-Lessons in quilting between English, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese.
