Biography:
Soon after completely my undergraduate studies in French at Sussex University's School of African Asian Studies (AFRAS) I moved to San Diego, California. After a decade working in copywriting and public relations in the USA I decided to return to school in Europe to complete a Masters in Global Communications. During my time at American University of Paris, I was able to reconnect with my passion for French translation and took on a part time job translating for Vogue Paris in English. Academically, I excelled, and in 2013 presented a paper at the ICA pre-conference at the London School of Economics. In October 2014, after graduating, I presented a paper at a conference at the American University of Paris.
After returning to the US in 2015 I continued my work as a translator. In 2019 I contributed a chapter to the book, "Communication in the Era of Attention Scarcity." In 2023 I contributed a chapter to the book "Fallen Monuments and Contested Memorials." I have just presented my paper "Hashtag Orangerie, Hashtag Paris: Withering Water Lilies and Blooming Aura Within Instagram Representations of Claude Monet’s Nymphéas" at the CAA 2024 conference session "Awash in Digital Imagery: what next for traditional art and museums?" I am currently seeking opportunities to publish this work in either a journal or edited volume.
