I love bringing my passion for applied linguistics and translation theory to classrooms, events, and conventions. Over the past decade, I’ve been a featured speaker at dozens of events around the United States, including Anime Expo, the Game Developer’s Conference (GDC), the American Translators Association conference, and the International Japanese-English Translation conference.
Host me as a guest speaker!
