What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that values multilingual skills and offers opportunities for growth.

With over 7 years of leadership experience in customer-facing environments and 5 years as a professional translator, I have honed my skills in team management, event coordination, and communication. My background in linguistics and audio engineering has equipped me with a unique perspective on effective communication and problem-solving.

Throughout my career, I have successfully translated legal, technical, marketing, and educational content, ensuring accuracy and cultural relevance. As an event planner, I managed budgets and logistics for various events, demonstrating my ability to deliver results independently while fostering excellent client relationships. My recent role as a tourism-oriented business manager allowed me to further develop my operational management skills, ensuring high client satisfaction and efficient workflow.
