Valerija Kušić
@valerijakui
I translate complex multilingual content and keep executive offices running smoothly.
What I'm looking for
I've translated and proofread English, French, Slovenian, and Italian content into Croatian for more than 25 years across dermocosmetics, medicine, pharmacy, chemistry, business, legal, commercial, and industrial fields.
Through Valkira, my translation services business, I work as a freelance translator and lector for clients including Vichy, L’Oréal, La Roche-Posay, Nuxe, L’Erbolario, Medika, law offices, and foreign trade agencies.
I've also supported leadership and office operations at Croatian Lottery, Sigma grupa, Institut IGH, Medika, Modulor Constructions, and Lorsel strojevi. My work has included executive assistance, HR support, office management, foreign correspondence, marketing, PR, events, and travel organization.
At Ljekarne Prima Pharme, I contributed to Legal and HR operations, safety management, website content, bulletins, catalogues, and recruitment. I bring strong communication, organisation, discretion, and multilingual client-relations skills to every assignment.
