7 years of experience Vietnamese professional interpreter & guide

Hello! I am Nguyen Thi Ngoc Trang. I was born on January 24, 1994, in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, and I am currently working as a freelance interpreter. I majored in Korean Studies at Saigon University and obtained a TOPIK level 5.

My career started at Vinalasa and Hanbit Nano. At Vinalasa, I worked as an interpreter, handling translation and interpretation tasks, and at Hanbit Nano, I was responsible for translation and management tasks. At this company, I gained a lot of experience interpreting various lectures related to red ginseng, ginseng therapy devices, and massage machines.

Since 2017, I have been working as a freelancer, taking on interpretation in various fields. For example, I have interpreted at several seminars and exhibitions held at the SECC exhibition center, food seminars, machine production-related interpretations, and cosmetics seminars. Additionally, I have also handled market research and contract interpretations for several companies.

I have a great sense of humor and am popular among my friends. I have a personality that does not give up and always does my best, even in difficult situations. I still remember my mother telling me when I was young, "Tears make us weak, and shyness is like failure. Patience is like success." This saying has been a driving force for me to keep challenging myself without giving up in tough situations.

I am fluent in Korean and Vietnamese and have extensive interpretation experience in various fields such as healthcare, beauty, food, and technology. I always enjoy new challenges and seek opportunities to maximize my capabilities. I want to gain more experience and develop my expertise in various fields in the future.

I always do my best to complete the tasks assigned to me and enjoy acquiring new knowledge and experience. If your company hires me, I promise to do my best for your success. Thank you.

Saigon University, Major in Korean Studies (2012-2015)

These experiences have greatly helped me grow into a versatile and professional interpreter. I want to maximize my capabilities through more challenges in the future. Thank you.
