Bio
Brief Intro About Me

I am a native speaker of Indonesian residing in Jakarta, Indonesia. Despite completing my tertiary education with a bachelor's degree in industrial management and engineering, I have always nurtured great interest in the English language. So much so that nearly all of my 18-year professional experiences have been gained in this particular field.

I first started working in 1998 as an English teacher and have gained more than 16 years of extensive experience in this line of work, from teaching general English to school-aged learners, to teaching TOEFL Preparation Courses and business English to employees and adults.

Due to the relatively high exposure to translation assignments, I naturally developed interest as well in this line of work, beginning to take up translation professionally two years ago. As my skills and experience mounts, so are the number, type, and variety of linguistic jobs I have completed. This includes translation, transcreation, voice-over, subtitling, copy-writing, and trancription, all of which were in the language pairs of English to Indonesian and Indonesian to English. Now, a significant portion of my previous jobs can easily be viewed all over the internet.

My stature as a professional translator is further recognized when in 2011 I was accepted as a full member of The Association of Indonesian Translators (Himpunan Penerjemah Indonesia). With this distinguished credential, along with the previous successful linguistic projects I have under my belt, I shall strive to provide top-of-the-line language solutions that will meet, even exceed, customers' expectations.
