What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can drive multilingual translation, MT post-editing, and DTP/LQA at scale—protecting brand voice and formatting—while collaborating with global linguist teams on healthcare, legal, and marketing content.

I’m a detail-oriented Language Consultant with over 14 years of experience across translation, localization, Desktop Publishing (DTP), and linguistic quality assurance (LQA) in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I adapt complex technical and creative copy while protecting brand voice, formatting integrity, and technical accuracy.

I’ve managed high-volume language data workflows exceeding 4M+ words and deliver end-to-end services—from translation and transcreation to MT post-editing (MTPE) and layout verification. Across marketing, e-commerce, gaming, healthcare, and legal sectors, I ensure translated documents mirror original design constraints.

I also lead teams: as a Project Lead, I coordinated multilingual delivery for international projects and supervised/trained a global network of 1000+ linguists with style and formatting guidelines. I’m comfortable running secure language-data distribution via SFTP and proprietary compliance-focused workflows.
