What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and collaboration, where I can lead impactful projects and continue to develop my technical skills.

I am a dedicated Localization Project Manager with extensive experience in managing multilingual projects across various industries. My journey began with a strong foundation in project management, where I honed my skills in initiating, planning, executing, and closing localization projects. I have successfully led teams at Stillman Translations and TransHome, ensuring that every project meets client objectives and maintains high-quality standards.

My academic background in project planning and control techniques, combined with my technical skills in software engineering, allows me to bridge the gap between linguistics and technology effectively. I am passionate about leveraging cutting-edge tools and methodologies to enhance project outcomes and drive efficiency. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to continuous learning and professional growth.
