What I'm looking for

I seek localization or IP roles where I can manage CAT-tool workflows, ensure translation quality, mentor teams, and improve processes within collaborative, deadline-driven environments.

I am a Localization Project Manager and CAT-tool specialist with a strong background in IP administration and technical support. I combine linguistic precision with technical proficiency to deliver accurate, consistent translations and streamlined localization workflows.

Since 2020, I have managed localization projects, prepared and proofread files using MemoQ, XTM, Smartling and Memsource, maintained translation memories, and performed quality control to meet client specifications. I also supervise freelance translators to ensure deadlines and quality standards are met.

Prior to localization, I spent over a decade in patents and IP as a paralegal, managing patent processes, administering WorldSuite software, and serving as an internal IT consultant to optimize workflows and provide technical support.

I hold an MSc in Mathematics and Computational Science and completed advanced MemoQ project management training; I bring attention to detail, strong organization, and clear communication to fast-paced, cross-functional teams.
