Kazakhstan

I am a 21-year-old resident of Astana, Kazakhstan, with a deep passion for language, culture, and making a positive impact in the world. My journey began at KAZGUU University, where I pursued a major in Translation Studies, with a minor in Medialinguistics. This academic path provided me with a strong foundation in linguistic skills and a deep appreciation for the nuances of cross-cultural communication.
During my time as a student, I was not content with just academic pursuits. I understood the power of practical experience and sought internships to complement my education. I had the privilege of interning as a translator at the prestigious Astana International Financial Center. This experience broadened my horizons and exposed me to the complexities of international finance and trade, emphasizing the importance of precise and effective language translation in the global business landscape.
My desire to contribute to society led me to work as an interpreter in the Police Department. This role was both challenging and rewarding as I helped bridge the language gap between law enforcement and diverse communities, facilitating understanding and cooperation in the pursuit of justice.
Beyond my professional experiences, I was driven by a strong sense of social responsibility. I dedicated my time and energy as a volunteer for UNICEF, an organization that works tirelessly to improve the lives of children worldwide. Through my volunteer work, I was involved in numerous projects aimed at addressing the unique needs of children, including education, healthcare, and protection from various forms of exploitation.
I also actively participated in international competitions and volunteer projects, leveraging my linguistic and cultural knowledge to connect with people from different backgrounds and foster understanding and collaboration. These experiences taught me the power of diversity and the importance of using one’s skills to contribute positively to global issues.
