Personal profile
Personal profile
I am a writer with academic backgrounds in translation and communication design.
Since I have three years' experience as a Technical Writer and/or a Software Tester, I strive for the highest quality within constraints at work and in my everyday life.
I am culturally sensitive, well organised and attentive to details. I enjoy performing multiple tasks in a dynamic environment that fosters cultural and knowledge diversity. With my 3 years of life and cultural experiences in different countries such as England, South Korea and Norway, I have a strong passion for multicultural environments.
I am looking for a career with a view to becoming a professional writer, thus contributing to user satisfaction. In the long run, I hope to specialise in the training and development of young professionals in any areas in which language skills and cross-cultural awareness are equally important.
My latest employment was offered on a contract basis and the one-year contract has already ended. Thus, I am immediately available for new challenges in my career.
Under special circumstances, I may consider suitable freelance opportunities to contribute to interesting projects and develop new interests on both a professional level and a personal level.
