About
I’m a multilingual language professional with 5+ years of experience in translation, localization, transcription, and linguistic quality assurance across German, Dutch, and English. I deliver accurate, culturally adapted content for marketing, automotive, legal documents, technical manuals, web and mobile UI/UX, and literary texts.
I’m skilled in editing and proofreading, including MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing), to optimize clarity, accuracy, and readability. I manage terminology and glossaries, support SEO content writing and review, and use CAT tools like SDL Trados, MemoQ, and XTM to keep multilingual workflows consistent.
Beyond traditional localization, I contribute to AI training data through translation, transcription, content review, prompt design, response rating, and PII labeling via platforms such as Aimproved. I’ve also collaborated with global agencies and vendors and achieved outcomes like improving translation turnaround time by 30%, training AI models for 25% better multilingual response accuracy, and delivering 500,000+ words annually with 98% QA accuracy.
