Summary

Although I have a wide variety of interests, I have decided to take my passion for languages and cultures to the next level by making my dream job a translator that travels around the world to connect culturally different souls despite the language barrier. As an observant person, thanks to my keen senses and great experience in team play, my ability to identify ones' cultural characteristic and dialect is beneficial to the heart of a translator, therefore I hope to take advantage of these essential qualities to help various organizations and people living/visiting outside their native country.
