Bio

Welcome to my Proz.com profile!

My name is Kovács Erika Barbara, I am specializing in Marketing for the beauty and the travel industry.z9simx51evhazcjagbcl.jpg

I grew up in Transylvania, surrounded by languages and cultures. I now speak Hungarian, Romanian, English, and French fluently, and I am learning Korean. 

Studying Tourism and Territorial Planning for five years taught me more than just theory — it showed me how powerful storytelling can be in marketing, especially when the goal is to sell an experience, not just a destination or product. 

After finishing my studies, I spent six months in the US (Northern California) working for the Tahoe Donner Association and I also lived three years in the UK working for SportsDirect. 

I started working in Translations professionally in 2018 at SportsDirect, translating marketing materials and beauty content, including the SportFX makeup line catalogue. In 2020, I joined the City Hall of Cehu Silvaniei, writing speeches and social media posts about local projects and events — that role taught me a lot about clarity, tone, and public communication. 

Since then, I’ve focused more on marketing content for beauty brands — translating promotional material for Dyson and now assisting in the translation of SEO-friendly website articles for Nivea.

In 2024 I started my second master’s program at the University of Debrecen, studying Translation and Interpreting. 

Outside of work, I write short stories for children, lyrics for songs, and I especially love translating lyrics — it’s where my love of melody, rhythm, emotion, and language all come together. 

No matter what I’m working on, I care deeply about how things sound, how they feel, and whether they truly connect.
