I am Gazmend Cerkini, a professional translator with around 20 years of experience in translation and interpretation in English and Albanian. I have joint the NATO mission in Kosovo - KFOR in 1999 as part of US Army. Later on, I expanded my portfolio with further knowledge and experience with NATO Military Civilian Advisory Division (MCAD) to the Kosovo Security Forces (including cadet recruitment, basic and specialist training etc.), for over four years.
My professional background has had the greatest achievements during the work I did with NATO Advisory and Liaison Team (NALT) to the Ministry of Defense and to the Kosovo Security Forces, for around six years. On daily bases, I have produced qualitative translation of military, legal and security documents, learning and events materials, proofread documents in English and Albanian. In addition, I have provided simultaneous translations in meetings, workshops, seminars etc. My vast experience in all my previous translation jobs has also been focused in assisting key experts visits and activities.
Besides my work experience background, I hold strong planning skills, I have experience on prioritizing and handling multiple tasks under tight deadlines. Ability to work in confidence, creatively, independently and as a team player, and last but not least I have strong skills to easily understand and learn new knowledge and practices by applying them in my own very fast.
