A Love for Learning

I was born in Boston, USA and graduated from Brown University in 2012 with a degree in Religious Studies, with a focus on Buddhism. While studying at Brown University, I was fascinated by a wide variety of academic disciplines, including religion, the arts, cognitive science, and economics. This love for learning, combined with skills in the Thai language and a passion for writing made becoming a translator an obvious choice. I now split my time between Thailand and the US, working both as a painter and translator.
