What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to utilize my language skills in dynamic environments, fostering communication and cultural exchange.

I am a dedicated freelance interpreter with a passion for facilitating communication across languages. Since 2019, I have provided interpretation services in various professional settings, ensuring clarity and understanding in multilingual environments. My experience includes working at major trade fairs such as Frankfurt Messe and Berlin Messe, where I supported international communication and helped bridge cultural gaps.

In addition to my interpreting work, I have served as a Foreign Language Teaching Assistant at Serra Kindergarten, where I supported early childhood language acquisition in a multilingual environment. My academic background in German Language and Literature, combined with my ongoing studies in Linguistics at the University of Leipzig, has equipped me with a strong foundation in language and communication.
