What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and innovation in translation and localization.

With over a decade of experience in the translation and localization industry, I have honed my skills as a project manager, linguist, and problem solver. My journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Translation, Interpretation, and Project Management from Ionian University of Corfu, followed by two Master’s degrees that deepened my understanding of intercultural communication and translation methodologies.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Project Manager at Welocalize, where I manage translation projects across various sectors, including medical communication and politics. My role involves overseeing the entire project lifecycle, resolving client queries, and ensuring seamless communication with vendors and linguists. My previous experience as a Localization Project Manager at Business & Bytes Ltd. allowed me to lead a team in handling complex localization projects for major clients, including the European Parliament.
