Born in a culturally rich area in Lebanon, where people use Arabic, English and French interchangeably, helped me grow an interest in languages over the years. My first translation gig was at the ripe age of 14, where I helped my Grandma's neighbors, far in the mountains, write a letter to their American daughter-in-law to update her on her husband's health (Fortunately good news). This made me realize early on the importance of making communication easier and information accessible to the community.
