I am comfortable working in teams or independently, apply strong problem-solving and project-management skills, and pursue ongoing professional development through TESOL, counseling, criminal-law for interpreters, and editing courses. I seek opportunities to contribute my linguistic and communication expertise to meaningful projects.
