Objective:

Looking for contract or full time English/Chinese and Chinese/English

translator and interpreter jobs.

Language skills:

Fluent (verbal and written) in English and Chinese (Mandarin and

Cantonese).

. While growing up in southeastern part of China, the Southern Fujian

dialect (also know as Taiwanese) was my first spoken language.

. Through out my primary and secondary educations, Chinese Mandarin was

the official language. And during the last 11 years, half of the work

force of the company that I worked for was in China; Mandarin was

heavily used on the daily basis.

. Due to family members' preferences, Cantonese and English are the

languages used at home.

. Post secondary educations:

BSEE, Northwestern Polytechnic University, 1988

MSEE, Northwestern Polytechnic University, 1992

. Although I have not worked as a translator or interpreter for a

living. They have always been part of my live. In addition, I taught

Mandarin to my colleagues at work for a while, interpreted English

pastors' sermons into Mandarin once a month for a couple of years, and

interpreted Mandarin speaking pastor's sermons for Cantonese speaking

congregation for a few years.

. Lived, studied, and worked in the US the last 30 years. Here is a
