With a passion for people, language and culture, Yvonne found her ideal niche in the language industry. Being bilingual at a young age came naturally as she grew up in Germany as the child of an American father and a German mother. Yvonne earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Zoology at the University of North Carolina. After travels throughout Europe, she returned to the U.S. to begin her career in languages. Her in depth knowledge of the localization industry was successfully honed before she founded TransNation Translations, Inc. in the spring of 2002.
