About Me
Hi there!
I'm Farhana Nur Maisarah
But you can call me Hana.😊
As a native Malay speaker born in Malaysia to a bilingual family, I bring an innate understanding of English and Malay.
As a certified translator with 12 years of experience in translation, proofreading, editing, and writing in both languages, I deliver accurate, culturally sensitive translations tailored to your needs.
My broad interests across philosophy, tourism, marketing, culinary, management, human resources, psychology, biology, and the arts—especially music and poetry—inform my work.
My passion for reading English and Malay books across various topics allows me to provide deep insight and accuracy in every project, ensuring high-quality results.
As a piano teacher, I also bring a creative understanding to the translation process, ensuring every piece communicates and resonates.
Every word a note, every phrase a melody.
