Career Goals
I am looking forward to a career in translation in Hindi to the English language. Since most people are interested in foreign languages, I thought of going back to the native one and help in sustaining its significance. I am from Rudrapur, Uttrakhand which doesn’t give me access to a lot of opportunities as compared to people from metropolitan cities, hence an inclination towards freelancing in terms of future career goals. Awaiting to grab all kinds of working opportunities coming my way.

| The world, its culture and languages have been my passion since I was little. Growing up as the only kid who speaks English in a small village in Indonesia which only either Javanese is spoken at home and Bahasa Indonesia at school, permits to see the world and shape my mind and thought because of the constant exposure of different languages while I grew up. Thus, my passion is not just an interest or choice, but more like it has been there with me. As I grow up, I picked up another language, French, Portuguese, and recently Hungarian, that I was amazed I can speak it in a quite little time since I started studying it. Plus, now I’m living in Delhi, hence I am exposed to Hindi daily. | The world, its culture, and languages have been my passion since I was little.
