What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities where I can contribute to new projects, apply my management and computer skills, and adapt to change in a fast-paced work environment.

At Krishna Translations, I translated and proofread technical documents and projects in Punjabi, Hindi, and English. I also transcribed legal audio and video and wrote subtitles for international clients.

As a freelance Interpreter in Sydney, I facilitated communication in Punjabi, Hindi, and English across healthcare, legal, and education settings. I explained cultural context and non-verbal cues to help ensure messages were understood as intended.

At Wattle Tree Motel, I oversaw office duties, reservations, accounting, and purchasing, and coordinated training and recruitment. I also administered health and safety programs and managed operations at additional company locations.

Earlier, I assisted with recruitment at KNOTS Aviation and worked on its webpage, including updates and code fixes. My technical experience also includes developing and maintaining program code at Webtech Technologies and writing application code under supervision at Techno specs.
