Biography

After completing my BA in Middle East and Asian Languages & Cultures at Columbia University in 2000, I took up a year-long Bosch Fellowship at the University of Leipzig, Germany, where I taught in both the departments of English and Applied Linguistics as well as advised students in the international office. I returned to New York and worked for five years at Columbia in project management and financial administration in the health services division before commencing postgraduate studies at Cambridge. I finished my PhD in German in 2012 and held two postdoctoral positions in Germany (Leibniz-Institute for European History) and in Canada (University of Calgary).

I am currently the director of program and research support at Hearing Health Foundation, the largest private funder of hearing and balance research in the US.

I continue to work as a translator from the German.
