I work as a translator from German and French into English. To date, my most notable translation is a co-translation of excerpts of Schelling’s late Berlin lectures for The Schelling Reader. I have also translated numerous pieces on 19th- century philosophy and 20th-century continental philosophy and am working on the first-ever English edition and translation of a student transcript of Schlegel’s 1800-1801 Jena lectures Transcendental Philosophy.

My passion for foreign languages began during my B.A. at Memorial University of Newfoundland, where I learned Russian during my minor in Russian studies. Afterward, I learned German at the Institut für Internationale Kommunikation at Düsseldorf University and French through the Commission scolaire de Montréal. This gave me the resources I needed to pursue graduate studies in French and German in Europe, where I completed the M.A. program Erasmus Mundus Europhilosophie where I had the opportunity to study at the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium), Bergische Universität Wuppertal (Germany), and Université Toulouse-II (France). In my free time, I enjoy reading Russian to keep my proficiency up to speed.

I am always interested in new translation projects. Anyone wishing to have articles, book chapters, primary texts, and so on, translated is encouraged to get in touch.
