What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values linguistic precision and cultural adaptation, offering opportunities for growth in translation and localization.

With over 8 years of experience in the translation and localization sector, I am a specialist in linguistic analysis and content quality evaluation. My background includes assessing the linguistic quality of advertising content, cultural adaptation of materials, and enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of content for diverse audiences. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics, a Master's in Translation and Interpretation, and a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics, focusing on ensuring that content is culturally appropriate and linguistically precise, optimizing the end-user experience.

In my recent role as a Linguistic Quality Evaluator at Appen, I evaluated the quality of Spanish advertising and content, ensuring linguistic and cultural consistency. Previously, as a Translation and Localization Manager at Vistaprint, I supervised the localization of content for international markets, leading a team of translators and implementing strategies that resulted in a 25% increase in customer conversion rates in Spanish-speaking markets. My expertise in project management and linguistic research allows me to coordinate multilingual projects effectively while maintaining high standards of quality.
