As the Head of Localization at Wordfoxes, I lead a team of talented linguists and project managers who deliver high-quality and culturally relevant translations for video games and IT products. I have a master's degree in Translation and Localization from Universidade do Minho and a bachelor's degree in the same field from Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto. I have over six years of experience in the localization industry, including nine months as a senior project manager at Wordfoxes, where I managed large-scale and complex projects for global clients. I have strong skills in customer support, budget management, and delivering on deadline, as well as a passion for languages, gaming, and technology. My goal is to provide the best possible localization solutions that meet the needs and expectations of both the developers and the end-users.
