My background and work experience have allowed me to develop the necessary skills to adapt to any environment and go beyond what is expected of me. It also gave me the ability to learn fast using critical and analytical thinking in order to adapt to different situations, both individually and within a team. I am seeking to redirect my career towards what I am passionate about, translation and localization. To this end, I believe that the combination of my background, professional experience and language skills would make me an asset as a translation collaborator in your company.
