I’m a dedicated and curious professional with over 12 years of experience across diverse roles, now focusing on translation, transcription, subtitling, and publishing. I take pride in delivering thoughtful, accurate work that captures both meaning and nuance, whether I’m adapting text for a new audience or helping to bring a story to life.\n\nI work well independently and enjoy the flexibility of remote projects, but I also value collaboration and clear communication with editors, authors, and teams. My approach combines diligence, empathy, and creativity — I care about getting the details right while keeping the bigger picture in mind. Outside of work, I’m an avid reader with a love of languages and storytelling. These interests shape the way I work and remind me why I’m drawn to projects that bridge cultures and connect people through words.
