What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support global brands with end-to-end localization and editorial excellence—building style guides, running MTPE/proofreading/QA, and delivering high-quality content across Education, Marketing, and IT with clear standards.

I’m a Senior Linguist and Editor with over 10 years of experience, specializing in linguistic excellence for complex projects in Education, Marketing, and IT. I establish editorial standards and oversee high-quality content delivery, from transcreation through final editorial sign-off for global brands.

In my roles, I develop and maintain language-specific style guides and glossaries to ensure brand consistency across platforms. I manage end-to-end linguistic lifecycles, including MTPE, proofreading, subtitling, and closed captions/audio descriptions, and I also lead language QA and translation teams to keep quality high and timelines reliable.
