My Story
My passion for writing as a way to express myself drove me into choosing to become a translator.
While that is not the only career option that I had in mind as I studied at the English Literature Department of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, it was certainly one of the options that I gravitate toward. It helps that one of my first paid jobs was serving as a translator for a translation agency managed by the student association at my major for 1 year.
After graduating with GPA of 3.68, I found myself another job performing news translation for the state-owned news agency Antara in July 2021 which I continued to do for two years. After that, I worked as a junior linguist for the translation agency Indo Lingo for 5 months.
To further improve my skills, I also participated in various translation courses, including English-Indonesian general translation courses held by Universitas Indonesia and video game localization bootcamp.
My training and experience paid off because I passed the English-Indonesian Translator Certification Exam held by the Association of Indonesian Translator (HPI) in September 2024. I was quite pleased with myself given that it is an exam assessed by translators with over 5 years of experience and has a 20-30% passing rate.
And so, all of that finally brought me here to you. If you’re interested in my service or if you just want to chat… well there’s a button below that you can click there 😉
