About

Hi there! I’ve been captivated by written words and languages since childhood, and I now speak four languages with a passion for creative translation and writing, including rhyming lyrics. I’m also a traveler, rapper, and composer who thrives on cross-cultural projects and artistic collaboration.

Over the years I’ve built a career translating and subtitling for video games, theatre, and promotional materials, always aiming to convey rhythm, tone, and meaning across languages. I enjoy remote collaboration, persistent learning, and delivering high-quality, culturally resonant work.
