Bio

WHO I AM

▪ Romanian localization expert and content strategist — native speaker, 25+ years in the craft

▪ I translate, transcreate and review from English, French, Spanish and Portuguese (PT) into Romanian

▪ 20+ million words delivered, including 6.5M+ as External Reviewer for Google

▪ Currently pursuing a Master in AI and Innovation for Localization


WHAT I DO

When a scale-up goes global, Romanian is rarely the hard part — until it is. I help tech companies, SaaS platforms and consumer brands get it right the first time: content that sounds native, performs locally, and reads like it was written in Cluj, not translated into it. The kind that doesn’t make native speakers wince, scroll past, or quietly switch to English.


My work sits at the intersection of localization, content and AI-augmented workflows: translation and transcreation, LQA and AI output evaluation, terminology and style guide ownership, multilingual SEO and copywriting. Focus sectors: entertainment, streaming, SaaS, tech, fintech, e-commerce, fashion and travel.


HOW I DO IT

Two decades of brand voice work, a linguist’s eye, and a healthy respect for what AI does well — and where it still needs a human. I translate, transcreate and transform content that performs on the Romanian market: content people trust, click, and convert on.
