Resume capsule

I am an HPI-certified translator and has for more 10 years offered English-to-Indonesian translation, review/editing, and subtitling services to domestic and global clients. A native Sundanese, I also work on English-to-Sundanese translation.

I benefit greatly from my major in librarianship at Bogor Agricultural University and over 15-year professional at the British Council Jakarta where I gained a working knowledge of business, education, human resources, market research, management, travel, and tourism terminology. Translating more than 80 books and particularly novels for Indonesian publishers attests not only my passion for literature but also to my special interest and skills. Moreover, I am familiar with market-friendly computer-assisted translation and subtitling tools such as SDL Trados, Wordfast, MemoQ, and Aegisub. This, notwithstanding, does not quench my thirst for knowledge. I am now pursuing a degree in translation studies at the Indonesia Open University.
