What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on product localization and vendor management within collaborative, data-driven teams where I can streamline processes, reduce risk, and scale multilingual products.

I am a localization professional with over seven years managing large-scale translation and interpretation workflows, vendor SLAs, and cross-functional process improvements within regulated environments. I have driven localization quality for product launches and security offerings, reducing errors and accelerating time-to-market.

I partner with tech, risk, and regional stakeholders to translate technical requirements into data-driven reporting and operational solutions. My achievements include building localization test suites across multiple languages, optimizing TMS migrations, and improving LSP workflows and glossary management to meet strict KPIs.
