What I'm looking for

I’m looking to work with a competent, ambitious, purpose-filled company where I can handle interpretation, translation, and administrative/operational coordination—meet challenges head-on, grow with the team, and deliver clear communication that keeps projects moving.

I’m a multilingual interpreter and translator who enjoys being the dependable “Swiss Army Knife” on a team—resourceful, adaptable, and focused on simply getting the job done. In my roles, I’ve provided Korean-to-English/Amharic translation and consecutive interpretation, including high-stakes meetings and large-scale events.

I also bring hands-on administrative and operational capability: managing complex schedules, procurement, logistics, purchase and employee payment distributions, and expat accommodations. I’ve served as a primary operational liaison between clients/consultants and internal teams, supported executive-level coordination for expatriate leadership, and managed logistics and reporting for a training center project—while maintaining clear communication and professionalism.
