DESMOND CHUI JUN LIM

Multilingual and culturally fluent, I speak Chinese, Japanese, English, Malay, and Cantonese, and bring over four years of experience as a Volunteer Translator and Community Interpreter. With a deep understanding of Japanese language and culture (JLPT N1 certified), I have translated both written documents and audio materials with precision and efficiency.

My background in multimedia music and business, combined with my education in the Faculty of Informatics for Arts, equips me with a unique blend of creativity, adaptability, and technical understanding. I thrive in fast-paced environments and quickly adapt to new protocols, tools, and customer service technologies.

Known for strong problem-solving abilities and emotional intelligence, I approach every interaction with professionalism, empathy, and cultural sensitivity. I actively seek opportunities to grow in the fields of translation and communication, and I’m committed to delivering high-quality service and building meaningful connections across languages and cultures.
