I have 15+ years of experience in LOCALIZATION and TRANSLATION, with a focus on process improvement and technology. I am a MACHINE TRANSLATION enthusiast and love teaching language TECHNOLOGY when I have the chance. No matter what the challenge is, I make sure that each project meets (often exceeds) customer expectations in full. My background as a translator allows me to understand the ins and outs of every project. I welcome technology and innovation and love to experiment and learn from every project I come across.
