I am a driven, analytical and detail-oriented translator; I enjoy roles where language and media intersect. My background in linguistics gives me a deep understanding of language structures and the cultural nuances that influence communication.\n\nI have experience in translating and subtitling and continue to develop myself every day. My strength lies in my analytical thinking, accuracy, and ability to incorporate cultural context in translations. I am currently pursuing an MA in Professional Translation at Utrecht University_Phone details not available.
