What I'm looking for

I’m looking for work where I can combine translation, editing, and research to produce accurate, communication-ready outputs—ideally in an international environment that values speed, clarity, and hands-on collaboration.

I’m a multi-specialist with 8+ years of experience across translating, editing, and copywriting, as well as food safety, chemistry engineering, and academic research. I bring a strong “research-to-text” mindset, turning complex topics into clear, accurate work for international audiences.

In professional roles, I’ve spent years describing products and their value in multiple languages, editing and translating existing texts, and creating an international working environment. As a Co-founder, Ecology Manager and Social Media Creator, I managed fast-growing social media accounts and helped shape the brand’s tone and philosophy, while also working as a photographer and content-editor.

Academically and through R&D, I’ve defended two theses one year apart and published academic papers through research and development of dairy products. I’m especially drawn to work that combines deep physiochemical understanding with strong writing, editing, and research skills—so outputs are both technically sound and communication-ready.
