What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth and values effective communication.

I am a dedicated Project Manager with a strong background in translation and communication, currently working at LanguageLine Translation Solutions. My role involves overseeing the preparation and budgeting of translation projects for both domestic and international clients. I pride myself on maintaining high standards of quality control, ensuring that all translated documents meet the expectations of both the employer and the client. My experience includes coordinating various assignments and training new employees, which has honed my leadership skills.

Prior to my current position, I gained valuable experience as an Editorial and PR Intern at Associated Electric Cooperative Inc., where I authored and published weekly stories, organized interviews, and compiled data for special projects. My time as Managing Editor for The Mirror allowed me to supervise a team of writers and contribute to the campus community through journalism. I am passionate about effective communication and strive to deliver exceptional results in every project I undertake.
