Bio

*FREE TRANSLATION* Since I am just starting out, I'm offering free translation to build my portfolio!

My professional background is in Restaurant Management with a focus in Human Resources.  It is there that I have learned how to explain tax documents to my Spanish-speaking employees, e.g. la retención de federal y estatales.

In addition, I also attended UNC-Chapel Hill, where I not only acquired a B.A. in Linguistics with a double minor in Mandarin Chinese and Anthropology, I also was on the board for Chinese House - a study program where everyone in the dorm pledged to speak only Mandarin while in the dorm.

I am interested in a wide variety of topics, but my main interests lie in Human Resources and Payroll/Accounting.

* TRADUCCIÓN GRATUITA * ¡Desde que recién estoy comenzando, estoy ofreciendo traducción gratuita para construir mi cartera!


Mi experiencia profesional es en gestión de restaurantes con enfoque en recursos humanos. Es allí donde aprendí a explicar los documentos fiscales a mis empleados de habla hispana, p. la retención de federal y las detenciones.


Además, también asistí a UNC-Chapel Hill, donde no solo adquirí un B.A. en Lingüística con un doble menor en chino mandarín y antropología, también estuve en la junta de Chinese House, un programa de estudio donde todos en el dormitorio se comprometieron a hablar solo mandarín mientras estaban en el dormitorio.


Estoy interesado en una amplia variedad de temas, pero mis intereses principales se encuentran en Recursos Humanos y Nómina / Contabilidad.


*免费翻译*由于我刚刚起步,所以我提供免费翻译以建立我的作品集!


我的专业背景是餐厅管理,重点是人力资源。 在这里,我学会了如何向讲西班牙语的员工解释税务文件,例如 联邦公报


此外,我还参加了University of North Carolina Chapel Hill,在那里我不仅获得了文学学士学位。 我在语言学领域学习过汉语和人类学双学位,同时我还是中国之家的董事会成员。这是一项学习计划,宿舍中的每个人都承诺在宿舍时只会讲普通话。


我对各种各样的主题感兴趣,但是我的主要兴趣是人力资源和薪资/会计。
