What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to leverage my linguistic skills and cultural insights in a collaborative environment, fostering growth and meaningful contributions.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Translation Studies at KU Leuven, where I am deeply engaged in exploring the nuances of language and culture. My academic journey has been enriched by my Master's degree in Foreign Languages and Applied Linguistics, where I published works on literary translations, showcasing my commitment to bridging linguistic gaps.

My professional experience includes working as a Voice Over Artist for Lionbridge, where I utilized my linguistic skills to deliver high-quality recordings. Additionally, I have served as a consultant, providing proofreading and coaching services to students aiming for overseas education. My background as a part-time translator and English tutor has further honed my ability to communicate effectively across cultures.
