Hello and welcome!
I’m Cailan Adams, a US-born linguist now living in Mexico.
I’m a nerd and a teacher’s pet. I’ll stay an hour after a class or conference session to talk to the professor or presenter if it’s related to linguistics. I bring that passion, drive, and dedication to every project you trust me with.
I specialize in creative projects. I love handling slang, wonky grammar, and low-register content! Subtitling tickles my brain as well; dealing with limits for characters per second and per line make every subtitle into a creative puzzle to solve.
