What I'm looking for

I seek roles in translation, editing, or content production within mission-driven organizations where I can apply multilingual skills, support publications and communications, and grow in project coordination.

I am an experienced translator, editor, proofreader, and content writer who has supported international and United Nations organizations across education, culture and communication. I have provided translation, editing, linguistic QA, layout and publishing assistance for UNESCO and other UN and translation agencies, and I trained colleagues on publication and copyright processes.

My work includes drafting concept notes and progress reports, liaising with donors and stakeholders, and providing interpretation during events. I have led bilingual newsletter production, designed social media campaigns, and managed content updates on websites using tools such as WordPress and Mailchimp.

Technically proficient in CAT tools (SDL Trados, eLuna, MultiTerm), Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Office and Google Drive, I deliver accurate, context-sensitive translations and support project coordination to ensure high-quality multilingual outputs.
