What I'm looking for

I seek remote contract roles emphasizing proofreading, LQA, and localization with clear QA processes, collaborative international teams, and opportunities to reduce revision cycles and ensure regulatory compliance.

I am a detail-oriented Linguistic QA Specialist and professional proofreader with over 15 years of experience in translation, editing, and quality assurance across legal, medical, pharmaceutical, and technical domains.

I have more than five years of fully remote collaboration with international agencies and U.S.-based clients, delivering 100% human revisions and translations that prioritize cultural accuracy, precision, and contextual integrity.

My work emphasizes terminology consistency, regulatory compliance review, and final-stage proofreading, and I routinely use SDL Trados Studio for translation memory management and QA verification.

I am seeking a stable remote contract position as a Proofreader or Linguistic Quality Assurance Specialist where I can apply my localization QA, glossary management, and error-detection expertise to improve quality and reduce revision cycles.
