Milena Hernández Saqui

I am a Linguistic Anthropology graduate with professional experience in multilingual communication, education, research support, and intercultural collaboration.

My academic and professional background has allowed me to work in international environments where I have supported research projects, assisted guest artists, provided interpretation and translation services in Spanish, Japanese, and English across a variety of document types, taught Spanish to students from diverse cultural backgrounds, and supported international students both in Mexico and Japan.

Through these experiences, I have developed strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt information to different audiences. I enjoy working in roles that connect people across languages and cultures, whether through education, project support, research, customer-facing communication, international coordination, or translation.

I am particularly interested in opportunities related to international programs, language services, education, cultural exchange, research support, cross-cultural communication, proofreading, translation, and multilingual project support.
