What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values cultural adaptation and quality in localization, with opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am an experienced Localization professional with a specialization in English-Hebrew translation. My journey has led me to work as a contractor for Google, where I have successfully managed and contributed to various projects in the lifestyle and technical segments. My expertise lies in product localization, ensuring that content is not only translated but also culturally adapted for different markets.

In my current role as a Senior Research, Analysis & Localization Specialist, I have driven significant improvements in hiring success rates and client approval rates through the development of comprehensive onboarding materials and playbooks. My attention to detail and commitment to quality control have enabled me to manage high-volume localization projects effectively, ensuring accuracy and reliability in all outputs.

With a background in teaching and a CELTA qualification, I bring a unique perspective to language and communication. I am passionate about creating engaging learning experiences and delivering high-quality translations that resonate with local audiences. I am eager to continue leveraging my skills in a dynamic environment where I can contribute to impactful localization projects.
