What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values creativity and innovation, offering opportunities for growth in translation and writing.

I am a dedicated translator, writer, and graphic designer with a strong background in both creative and academic fields. My experience includes producing high-quality content, translating various materials, and designing engaging visuals. I have honed my skills in using professional software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Canva, which allows me to deliver academic materials effectively.

Currently, I am pursuing my Master's degree in Malay Literature at Universiti Putra Malaysia, where I maintain a CGPA of 4.00. My academic journey has been complemented by practical experience, including an industrial training stint at Putra Business School, where I translated and organized formal materials while also creating graphic content that aligns with the institution's brand identity. As a freelance writer, I published a book of short stories titled 'Monotaip' in 2023, showcasing my narrative techniques and creativity.
