What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging bilingual interpretation, instructional design, and localization/project coordination in collaborative, mission-driven organizations focused on learning and clear cross-cultural communication.

I am a bilingual education and localization specialist with extensive experience in K–12 instruction, special education support, and multilingual interpretation. I design interdisciplinary lesson plans, implement differentiated instruction, and support students’ academic and personal growth while ensuring clear communication with families and specialists.

My background includes project and workflow coordination for localization and translation projects, LMS administration, QA testing for mobile apps, and digital marketing to grow engagement. I have managed translation memory projects using CAT tools, overseen contractor lifecycles, and improved processes to meet tight deadlines and quality standards.

I bring strong skills in interpretation (Farsi/Persian and Dari), copyediting and proofreading, learning management, and stakeholder collaboration. I aim to leverage my instructional design, localization, and project coordination experience to improve communication, learning outcomes, and operational efficiency in education or multilingual program environments.
