My recent job experience in an INGO is focused in translation/interpreting and international development, two fields that also reflect my career objectives.

I have been awarded Bachelor Degree in English Language (Specialist of English) by University of Tirana, and I have the necessary knowledge and skills in English and Albanian languages.

In my recent work experience, I have been responsible for translation and editing of official documentation and project related reports, information, brochures and newsletters, and also for interpretation as required in conferences, workshops and meetings. My translation experience includes working as a translator in International News Desk of Albanian Telegraphic Agency and contracted subtitling translations. My skills and professionalism in translation is in continuous development, as I am working on different translation projects and advancing my knowledge on translation, linguistics, CAT tools and other languages.

At the same time, I am working on developing my knowledge and insight in international development and INGOs, supported by my actual everyday experience in project planning, development, monitoring and evaluation.

Sincerely,
Orian Cuko
