I am a freelance interpreter living in Beijing, China. My native language is Chinese, but I am multi-lingual and I love language works. I am also a MBA with 10 years of experience in sales and management. I like to do business and be entrepreneurial.
English is my first foreign language. I attended a tourism school and majored in English. After graduation, I worked as a tour organizer for China Travel Service (the biggest Chinese travel agency). I am an expert in organizing efficient trips.
Later I applied and enrolled in an international MBA program jointly offered by Ben-Gurion University (Israel) and Boston University. I studied in Israel for 2 years and finished my MBA there. English is widely used in Israel and the MBA courses are entirely in English. I also learned to speak Hebrew.
After MBA I went back to Beijing to work for Barco, a Belgium high-tech company. At Barco I met a sweet Belgian engineer and we married. I transferred to Barco's Belgium headquarters and worked there for 2 years. I speak fluent Dutch at work and in everyday life.
My husband and I returned to Beijing after he became a China expat for Barco. I joined TravelSky, China's largest ticket reservation service to all airlines and travel agencies. My job title was to manage international sales, but because of my language skills, I was often designated as the interpreter for executives and board directors in international conferences, negotiations, and investor meetings. I was known as the No. 1 interpreter in the company. I was also the top sales person in my group.
I have always enjoyed interpreting work and I have always wanted to work as an indepedent. In 2006 I quit my job to become free-lance. Within a few months I developed a happy customer base. I am having a wonderful time working with my clients. Here is one testimonial. If you need reference check, please let me know and I will provide my clients' contact info.
