As a freelancer (Sea Siren Studio) I have worked for a multitude of companies and clients, allowing me
to work on a broad range of projects which incudes print, digital and social media. I have worked remotely as a freelancer for almost 20 years, working independently on projects, but also collaborating with team members and clients located around the globe. I have worked on localizing products into numerous languages giving companies a global marketing presence.
At my most recent full-time tenure at Wayside Publishing, I was involved in implementing the development of both print and digital resources for the World Language Educational curriculum, effectively managing asset integration and ensuring seamless delivery to the Learning Management System. This involved taking the content from the print books for Spanish, French and German and converting it to digital format with the use of HTML/CSS on the backend system (PimCore), adding additional resources/assets such as audio, video, PDFs and additional quizzes, checking language tags and adding ADA compliance with short/long descriptions.

Although I am not a certified coder, I have dabbled in coding since high school. I had originally planned to go into coding and have dabbled with web design. I am not intimidated to go into the source code and find/change elements at the coding level that need to be addressed.
My attention to detail, artistic eye, strong work ethic, work efficiency, and great organization and communication skills, and ability to meet deadlines are what define me and make me a great asset
for anyone who I work with.

I am ideally looking for a full-time or contract to full-time job.

INTERESTS
I love to travel when the opportunity arises!
My furthest trip-to-date was a solo venture to Australia and Fiji where the highlight of that was being on a boat for a week scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef. My bucket list trips are to Asia and to Morocco/Canary Islands.

When not working or traveling, I am reading, in the garden, or at the beach. I also love glamping in the woods in New England.
