At WE ARE VERY, I own delivery for a $2M+ localization portfolio across five enterprise accounts. I expanded one account from 16 to 39 languages and helped win back a dormant account.

I deployed Context Sensitive Translate, an LLM-based adaptive MT workflow that reduced production time by 40%. I also connected Figma and Articulate Rise 360 to Phrase and wxrks, removing manual export and import steps.

At The Language Group, I led the localization department and grew the team from two to six project managers. By rebuilding workflows and service offerings around delivery and cost data, we handled 30% more projects per PM and grew new business by 20%.

Earlier, I localized UI/UX and marketing content for WhatsApp and Apple through WeLocalize, and translated English content into Traditional Chinese for clients including Uber, Rolex and Apple. I bring that language work together with quality, terminology and delivery practices across enterprise localization programs.
