I'm very passionate about the work of a translator and interpreter and sincerely interested in each project I undertake. I enjoy both translating/interpreting and organizing translation projects. I am extremely responsible, very friendly, sociable, and a quick learner.

I mainly interpret at business meetings, negotiations, exhibitions, and fairs in the fields of technology, business, marketing, and mass media. I also have experience interpreting for patients at hospitals and clinics.
