What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my writing and editing skills while contributing to meaningful projects in a collaborative environment.

With over 8 years of experience in content creation, language services, and editorial management, I have honed my skills in writing, editing, and teaching across various industries. My journey began as an intern at a fashion magazine, where I developed a strong foundation in writing and editorial skills. This experience ignited my passion for storytelling and effective communication.

As an Assistant Director at an interior design company, I supported project logistics and client communications, further enhancing my organizational and project management abilities. My role as a Math and English tutor allowed me to foster a positive learning environment, helping students achieve their academic goals. Currently, I work as an editor and freelance translator, ensuring high-quality translations and polished manuscripts. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am committed to delivering excellence in every project.
