Welcome to my portfolio! My name is Katy Link, and I am a freelance communications, events & marketing project manager specialized in international business.

Below, you'll find a few highlights of past projects I worked on. Why don't you give me a shout, and we can talk about yours?

PS: I am fluent in German, English, French, Spanish, and currently learning Brazilian Portuguese. I also geek out in Ruby, CSS, JavaScript and some other programming languages since my coding bootcamp early 2020. Feel free to hit me up in your language of choice!
