Laura-Ioana F.

## BIO I am a student at Cluj-Napoca's Faculty of Letters, specialising in both Japanese and English. Previously, I've graduated a bilingual school, earning a certificate that grants me the title of a Medium Education-Level Interpreter of the English Language. Furthermore, I've obtained a Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English in 2009. I have worked for two local magazines, from 2005 to 2008. Both of these were aimed at teenagers and I joined both projects for their debut. One was short-lasting and focused on urban lifestyle in 2005, and the other, "Teen Press", I joined in 2006. "Teen Press" started out as an extremely restricted publication, with 500 copies per issue, and by the time I left it it was appreciated city-wide and ran 2000. I was the editor-in-chief and, during its first year, handled distribution as well. I've also attended courses held at the Romanian Independent Journalism Center, which had speakers such as Larry Gerber, Steven Knowlton and Karen Freeman. They dealt with specific type of article-writing and photojournalism. I've held various temporary jobs dealing with data entry(mostly in Outlook), transcription in both English and Romanian and translation from English to Romanian and vice-versa.
