What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my writing and translation skills while fostering creativity and collaboration.

As a passionate writer and translator, I have over six years of experience in crafting engaging content and translating works across multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Urdu, and Persian. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, which laid the foundation for my creative pursuits. I have successfully translated children's storybooks and university-level texts, showcasing my ability to bridge linguistic gaps and convey nuanced meanings.

In addition to my translation work, I have honed my skills as a freelance writer, producing short stories and poems that reflect diverse themes. My experience as a cabin crew member with Air India has further enriched my communication skills, allowing me to interact with individuals from various cultural backgrounds. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am committed to delivering high-quality work that resonates with audiences.
