What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in localization or media project management where I can improve workflows with technology, lead cross-functional teams, ensure client success, and grow within a collaborative, process-focused organization.

I am a project manager and customer relations specialist with over six years of experience managing media content and document localization for streaming platforms and international agencies. I lead end-to-end localization, dubbing/subtitling and quality assurance projects with a focus on timely delivery and client satisfaction.

I manage projects that leverage AI and SaaS platforms, onboard clients to platforms, negotiate with vendors and dubbing studios, and mentor cross-functional teams while controlling budgets, schedules and KPIs. I have handled full project cycles—from quotation and tender preparation through delivery, reporting and invoicing—and I drive process improvements to increase efficiency and quality.

I am proficient with MS Office, Google Workspace, Zoom, ClickUp, Intercom, Infoset, Slack, Notion and SmartCat, and I hold an M.A. in Journalism. I am proactive, detail-oriented and committed to continuous learning, eager to apply my localization and client-success expertise to new challenges.
