What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead localization projects, apply transcreation and subtitling expertise, work with global brands, and improve workflows under tight deadlines.

I am a translator and localization specialist with over 8 years of experience adapting content across e-commerce, marketing, and audio-visual industries for global platforms. I have localized thousands of minutes of content for clients including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney, and Discovery, combining linguistic precision with cultural insight to preserve brand voice and drive conversions.

I excel in transcreation, subtitling, script adaptation, and project management, and I have led teams on tight deadlines to deliver high-quality localized assets. My work emphasizes accuracy, creative rewriting for target audiences, and process improvements that reduce revision rates while ensuring consistent tone across campaigns and large inventories.
