A bit about myself:
I’m a Sr. Project Manager at BURG Translations specializing in video translations. I was adopted from Zhaoqing, China and currently live in Chicago. I graduated from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a degree in Bioengineering and happily accepted a job at BURG to work in the heart of downtown Chicago!
What is my area of specialization at BURG and what do I like about it?
My specialty is video translations and voiceovers. I enjoy it because every project is a breath of fresh air! There’s always something different to consider for each project. Videos can be a lot of work, but they’re the most satisfying projects to finish and deliver successfully.
What do I love about working for BURG?
I love that every day is different and brings new challenges and things to learn! There’s never a dull moment, and I’ve grown a lot since I started working here.
What are some of my hobbies?
In my free time, you can find me practicing piano, reading, or doing something creative. I’m a jack of all trades and I follow my mind wherever it takes me: crocheting, drawing, gaming with friends, or just enjoying a warm cup of tea and a quiet moment.
Four facts about me:
- I’ve been playing piano for over ten years and took lessons all four years in college. Classical music is my forte!
- I’m a former cross country and track runner who also ran cross country club during college for one season! Currently, I’m trying to reestablish a workout schedule for myself to get back in shape.
- I enjoy baking and trying out new, complicated recipes. The most recent success has been creating my own sourdough starter!
- I can be found listening to anything from podcasts to alternative rock while I’m working. My favorite podcast is Welcome to Night Vale.
