+91 9527590559 | maria_translations@outlook.com
Multilingual, detail-oriented professional with over 20 years of international experience across hospitality, client relations, translation, and customer support. Proven ability to manage communication across English-, Russian-, and Spanish-speaking markets, with a strong focus on building relationships, resolving issues, and delivering high-quality, personalized service in cross-cultural environments.
Throughout my career, I have served as a key liaison between clients and internal teams, ensuring smooth coordination, clear communication, and timely resolution of complex requests. My experience includes working in fully international settings across India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Russia, where adaptability, cultural sensitivity, and strong interpersonal skills were essential.
In addition to extensive client-facing roles, I have developed solid expertise in written communication through freelance translation, producing accurate and culturally relevant content across a variety of fields, including travel, health, and customer communications. I am highly attentive to detail, organized, and comfortable managing multiple priorities independently in remote and fast-paced environments.
I bring a combination of strong communication skills, cross-cultural awareness, and practical problem-solving, with the ability to handle sensitive situations with professionalism and empathy. Experienced in working across time zones, I am reliable, responsive, and committed to maintaining high standards of service and accuracy.
