I am a motivated and detail-oriented language professional with experience in proofreading, teaching, translation and creative writing in both English and Slovenian. I am currently finishing a master’s degree in English and Slovenian Language and Literature at the Faculty of Arts, University of Maribor. I also bring a strong IT background and experience in editing, translation and artistic writing. In terms of creative writing, I have published a few short stories in student's magazines, one of which has won a literary contest in Italy and has been translated to Italian. The story has been slowly evolved into a novel called State of Spring (fantasy, crime, martial arts, war, drama), which is currently in the finishing stages. Video games always had a major influence on my writing; that is why I also started writing a video game script with clear narrative and direction. Currently it is called Age of Broken Hearts (romantic comedy drama), placed in the same universe as the novel I am finishing.…I am a motivated and detail-oriented language professional with experience in proofreading, teaching, translation and creative writing in both English and Slovenian.
