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.
