Bio
I was born in Suriname, South America as a first generation Surinamese- Chinese citizen to Chinese immigrants from China. With the encouragement from my parents I have migrated and complete my bachelor studies here in California in 5 years. I am fluent in English, Dutch, Cantonese, Manderin Chinese and have elementary knowledge of the languages French and Spanish.
I'm passionate about
Development projects concerning education, health related issues, women issues and reversing environmental degredation. I like the act of translating a lot as I am able to negotiate language use.
An idea worth spreading
Education and self help is key to lifting up people from dire environmental issues affecting poverty rates. The enviromental affects of self- determination whether it be success or failure lies is what the surrounding environment eludes can happen or will never happen.
Areas of expertise
Dutch language, International Relations, SocioCultural Anthropology

My dream is to be a conference translator in the future and I am working hard at honing my skills to become one
