What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead localization projects end-to-end, collaborate with cross-functional teams, drive process improvements, and craft accurate, brand-aligned multilingual content.

I am a Localization Project Manager and language specialist with 14 years' experience managing multilingual projects from initiation through delivery, coordinating linguists, DTP specialists and engineers, and maintaining localization assets like TMs and term bases. I combine deep translation expertise with strong client communication, timeline and budget management, and hands-on use of CAT/TMS tools to ensure culturally accurate, high-quality deliverables.

As a freelance copywriter and content creator, I produce Spanish and English content and tailored UGC for food and lifestyle brands, enhancing brand voice and engagement. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive about process optimization, QA and risk management, and I contribute insights on communication, marketing and literature.
