I bridge Chinese and Italian communication through cultural mediation, interpretation, and language teaching.
ItalyWhat I'm looking for
I've supported Chinese and Italian communication as a cultural and language mediator with Oxfam Italy, translating and interpreting for people in hospitals and schools.
I've taught Italian to foreign students in Italian public schools and taught Chinese and Italian online through Preply to children and adults. I also taught Italian to Ukrainian refugees in Grosseto.
In a reception center for immigrants, I managed office responsibilities and accompanied guests to essential services such as hospitals and police stations.
My Master's degree in Language and Civilisation of Asia and Mediterranean Africa focused on Chinese Language and Literature. I enjoy multicultural environments and bring resilience, receptiveness, and a quick ability to grasp new concepts.
