What I'm looking for

I seek a full-time localization or project management role where I can lead end-to-end translation projects, work with cross-functional teams, and continue developing localization processes and QA standards.

I am a localization project manager and translator with end-to-end experience in managing translation projects, budgeting, vendor negotiation, and quality assurance. I have worked across videogame, web and e-commerce localization, applying strong planning, negotiation and team communication skills.

I hold a Master’s in audiovisual translation with specialization in localisation, subtitling and dubbing and completed a videogame localization course. I deliver projects through lifecycle phases using tools like MemoQ, Wordfast, JIRA and SharePoint, and I am available immediately for full-time roles.
