What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that allows me to utilize my language skills and creativity in writing and subtitling.

I am a dedicated professional with a Bachelor's Degree in Translation and Interpreting, specializing in subtitling and writing. My experience spans various roles, including subtitler for Vesti TV and ZOO Digital, where I translated and adapted content for diverse audiences. I have a strong command of the Macedonian language and have worked on projects for well-known networks like HBO and National Geographic.

In addition to my subtitling work, I have honed my writing skills as a sports news writer for SillySeason.com and as a fashion article writer for Deixis DOOEL. My ability to convey complex ideas in an engaging manner has allowed me to contribute effectively to various media platforms. I am currently focused on creating video scripts for YouTube channels, particularly in the realms of sports and fashion.
