― About Me
I am a translation and localization project manager with over a decade of professional experience and a Master of Arts in Translation and Localization Management. Throughout my career I have taken on a diverse range of roles, each of which has meaningfully shaped my approach to project management and my professional philosophy. I have a strong track record of success across complex, fast-paced environments, and my greatest asset is my ability to adapt — to new clients, new content types, new tools, and new challenges. I manage projects with precision and care, ensure seamless communication across languages and cultures, and consistently deliver high-quality results on time.

Oversaw multilingual translation teams across German, French, Japanese, and Korean, managing a high-volume, rolling content pipeline with strict turnaround times in support of a website launch. Coordinated closely with translation teams and project managers across global time zones to maintain project momentum and ensure on-time delivery. Served as the primary client liaison, providing regular progress updates throughout the translation process, and conducted quality control reviews on all deliverables prior to client submission.
Managed the end-to-end translation of a 100+ page help manual into Japanese within a fixed budget and hard deadline. Despite the project's scope and stringent formatting requirements, delivery was completed on time and to the highest quality standards.

― Multimeda Process development and documentation
Managed a high-volume multimedia marketing account and, upon onboarding, identified the absence of a standardized process for incoming subtitling and dubbing requests. Partnered with the media engineering team to design and implement a localization workflow tailored to the account's needs. Documented the workflow comprehensively to ensure continuity and enable any supporting project manager to onboard quickly and handle new requests independently.
