Bio

As a former academic librarian with legal education and more than 30 publications in local mainstream media, I look forward to channel my passion in language and translation to achieve clients' satisfaction. My writing life contributes immensely towards the flair of expression and accuracy of meaning that I always strive for when translating. Meticulousness, as a librarian's required skill, also applies to my current vocation.

I have been professionally involved in translation of marketing and legal documents, business news releases, biographical works, academic articles, e-training platform, political campaign tweets and app localization. In one-and-a-half-year of translating full-time, I have translated more than 150,000 source words with excellent feedbacks from my clients.
