Bio
Being a teacher was my childhood dream. I began my teaching career as a part-timer in 1994 at a small language institution in East Jakarta, where I taught English and French to elementary and high school students. That year, I was still studying at Teachers Training and Education Institute of Jakarta (IKIP Jakarta, now UNJ (www.unj.ac.id) majoring French.
I acquired my translating and interpreting experiences throughout my teaching career.

From 1986-1988 I lived in Sydney where I completed my year 5-6 of elementary school at Summer Hill Public School. In 1996, I continued my study at University of New South Wales, Australia (http://www.unsw.edu.au/) majoring French and Linguistics. I also learned some basic Mandarin, Japanese and Italian during my stay in Australia. I graduated from UNSW in 1999. I returned to Indonesia in 2001.

Having lived almost 9 years of my life in Sydney, I encountered many communication gaps in the multi-cultural interaction. Lots of migrants who came to Australia had no English skills. I thought: “How could I help to bridge the gap?” …and the answer was: by being a language teacher and a translator/interpreter.
I started translating in 1997 for my friends and extended family living in Sydney. No fixed rate. No reasonable offer was refused. Sometimes for free. Sometimes just in exchange of a lunch treat at the university cafeteria. I always thought, “the experience and their trust were priceless".

I am now a full-time freelance translator/interpreter. My fields of expertise in translation include legal docs (agreements, deeds, due diligence, company policies, etc.), HRD, training, education, general science and medical, religious, technical, history, etc.
