What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a challenging role where I can apply my linguistic knowledge, organisational skills, and localisation experience while continuing to grow and explore new opportunities.

I've delivered translation, subtitling, dubbing, interpretation, and localisation QA for clients across automotive, IT, fashion, medical, and legal content. As a freelance linguist, I preserve accuracy and cultural context while translating, proofreading, post-editing machine translation, and quality-checking subtitles.

At Wordbank Marketing, I halved setup time for a recurring 83-language project through implementing templates, while providing QA, terminology maintenance, software troubleshooting, ISO audits, documentation, and colleague training. I've also managed subtitle, transcription, and voiceover projects at Global Voices, and led multilingual translation teams at SDL/RWS.
