Class: 2009

Graduated with a French major in 2009
Stephanie is currently a Senior Project Manager at Welocalize, an international translation and localization vendor. She says, "My first job out of school was working for a for-profit study abroad company. I worked with students from France and Spain each summer. Putting my resume on monster.com allowed a recruiter from a translation company to find me, and I know my language background played in my favor during the hiring process. I worked as a project manager for a medical device translation company (think "hospital bed instruction manual" needs to be translated for the countries where you're selling it). My newest adventure is as Senior Project Manager with Welocalize, where I work with various tech clients in Silicon Valley on their localization needs (marketing material, UI/UX related content), as well as exploring the growing field of Machine Translation (MT). We’re nowhere near the capabilities of babble fish, but our linguistic teams are helping to train the machines! My background in language played a huge role in my current career. From working in study-abroad to localization industry, I had no idea there were so many diverse opportunities available to language students. There are so many options!!"
