Sakshi Gupta

Hello, My name is Sakshi Gupta, currently in the final semester of Master’s in German Language and Literature from Germanic and Romance Studies, Faculty of Arts, Delhi University. I am going to grab my Postgraduate title soon in June 2018 only. Apart from this, I did my schooling from Presentation convent school, Delhi with commerce stream and the pattern followed and I got my Bachelor’s degree in commerce too and Alongside I did my German language course till B1 level from Max Mueller Bhawan, Delhi. I have also studied Urdu as an optional subject in my Master’s.

Beside this, I am an Urban clap partner for providing German language lessons as a Freelance tutor and also worked in Language Pantheon Institute, Delhi for one year as a German teacher.

Also, I am a social worker and I have served in DMRC Children’s Home and Sunshine Educational Institute by providing lessons of Soft Skills, Handicrafts and English language there. I have also played my part in Cleanliness Drives and Donation Drives for Cancer and AIDS Patients.

During school life, I have constantly been a member of “National Bal Bhavan”, ITO, Delhi in my summer vacations .I’ve obtained knowledge about Museum techniques and also done trekking tour to Mussoorie.

I am a big time foodie and like to explore and travel to new places and try new food. That is the reason, I have started my own food blog on Instagram recently. Also did a virtual Internship for “Delhi Food Walks”.

 As far as my hobbies are concerned. I have never stick to one. I like to explore what life is offering me. I’m very fond of Novels. I read every kind of it. From self-help books to love stories. I love to travel and write about it in my Journal. I also play Sudoku in my leisure time or while travelling to college or work.

I love to watch TED Talks and other motivational talks to feel gratitude and to work with Zest in the working time.

Career Goals

I have always been motivated to do what makes me feel “achieved” every single day. The German language is one such thing happened to me. Whenever I translate any paragraph correctly, I feel little achievement and that little achievement every day leads to my every day’s happiness and when you are content in your life then you can automatically be directed towards your bigger goals in life because that’s what all motivational talks taught me, “the essence of life” and it is very well resonated with my primary goal.

Mastering any language is like climbing Everest mentally because it has so vast and hence, so much to offer and when you study a foreign language, your mind learns acceptability, even when everything seems to be at odds and you try to connect the dots with your own language.

Also, studying language without knowing the culture is not enough because culture bridges the gap between languages. That’s why, after getting language certificates, I decided to do Master’s in German language and literature to happily cross that bridge.

Now, As my Masters is coming to an end. I’m seeking all the fields which involve my knowledge of German language. So that in the process of implementing my knowledge, I also grab the skills that particular field has to offer. I’m really motivated to travel the world, become a translator and learning from other’s experiences and also sharing my own. And yes, my this Search stops at “Modlingua”, the highly reputed company, which will not only shape my personality, makes me an experienced human but also surely pushing me closer to my dreams.

As I firmly believe “Gratitude” is the key. Therefore, I’m extending my Gratitude in advance for this wonderful opportunity.
