What I'm looking for

I seek a role managing localization/translation programs where I can lead cross-functional teams, ensure high linguistic quality, and drive efficient, scalable processes.

I am a multilingual translation and localization project manager with extensive experience coordinating large, multilingual projects and delivering accurate, culturally appropriate content.

Over more than a decade I have managed end-to-end translation lifecycles for companies and agencies, coordinating work in 25–75 languages, implementing quality control, and using CAT tools such as XTM and Trados as well as Plunet.

My technical familiarity (.NET background) and strong organizational skills enable effective collaboration with development teams, translators, and stakeholders to meet tight deadlines and budget requirements while maintaining high linguistic quality.

I also have classroom and curriculum development experience, volunteer coordination expertise, and certification as a French medical interpreter, which together support my ability to bridge linguistic, cultural, and operational needs for clients and organizations.
