Researcher biography
Kunta recently joined Warmadewa University-Bali as a researcher and lecturer. With over a decade of experience as a professional translator, she brings a rich practical background to her academic pursuits. Her professional background and academic training shaped her view of translation as an act of communication rather than a mere linguistic transfer. This perspective fuels her current research interests, which focus on language and its interdisciplinary connections, particularly in translation, discourse, and communication.
