Bio

I was born and raised in the predominately Hindi and Punjabi speaking city of Chandigarh, India and after having spent almost 22 years of my life in India, I have been a happy settler in Australia that I now call home.

I have always had a love for languages with a fluent (and professional) user showing excellence in the three languages of Hindi, Punjabi and English 

I gained my first NAATI Certification in 2006 and since then, have built up my certification levels to multi-fold. I am NAATI certified in the following language pairs at this stage:


NAATI CERTIFIED TRANSLATOR:

PUNJABI TO ENGLISH

HINDI TO ENGLISH

ENGLISH TO PUNJABI

ENGLISH TO HINDI


NAATI CERTIFIED INTERPRETER:

PUNJABI < > ENGLISH at a Provisional level


As any Translator should, I always aim to deliver the message and not merely translate the words from one language to another. While doing so, I make sure I keep in mind the target audience and the purpose the intended translation seeks to meet.

Other than loving the work that I do, I also love to play piano. Traveling the world over is another passion that I deeply cherish as I love visiting new places and meet the ever interesting new people and settings.

Professionally, I have always worked almost entirely within the confines of Australia and I'm currently seeking international clients to spread my wings in the Industry so look forward to see you become a valuable part of it
