After graduating with a B.A. (Hons) in English Studies (Brighton University, 1999 – 2002) I have spent the last 13 year years of my career dedicated to various jobs involving languages, such as a PROJECT MANAGER.

 SKILLS AS A PROJECT MANAGER:

Having gained vital expertise through these professions, I consider myself a good Project Manager.
I am almost bilingual in English and Spanish, which is useful in international project management and exports.
I enjoy working in a deadline driven environment and I am not shy of a fast paced workplace nor delegating tasks. In addition, a great eye for detail means that each project I complete is rigorously researched and examined.

I am a Multi-tasking person and and  for example, proofreading documents before publication and coordinating a publication team is not unusual for me. My experience also includes managing an online community, which requires solid technological knowledge, a drive to develop a community, solid content writing skills and making important decisions.

EXPERIENCE AS A PROJECT MANAGER 

– From 2003 to 2006 I was Head of Production and responsible for multiple language translation quality control of a whole team of internationally based translators (AABAM TRANSLATIONS, MAGDALA TRANSLATIONS, in Madrid, Spain).

 My funtions were:
– Take full ownership of each localization phase in the project cycle.
– Plan, organize and successfully execute both small to mid-size as well as large and/or more technical projects according to time and budget requirements.
