I am a Hebrew-English literary translator living in Cleveland, Ohio. My goal is to bring high-quality Israeli fiction and literary non-fiction to an American audience. Over the years, I have worked with some of Israel's foremost writers, including prize-winning authors Savyon Liebrecht, Noa Yedlin, and Ofra Offer Oren. My translations have been published by the Jewish Publication Society, the Institute for the Translation of Hebrew Literature, Amazon, Jewishfiction, and Zeek Magazine.

Translating allows me to work closely with authors and texts, and to bridge the gap between two cultures that are close to my heart. I love what I do.

“...literary translators are the interpreters of human values - and the true peacemakers.”
