Meet Jolie

Jolie is a project manager with a decade of experience working in the translation and localization industry. She has lived in four different countries, speaks three languages, and has a formal education that she utilizes every day in managing localization and eLearning projects.

She earned her MA in Translation Studies from the University of Hull, in England and her BA in English Creative Writing and French Language from Western Washington University. She has lived in Washington State, Mexico, France, and England, thoroughly enjoying her time in each place.

In her free time, she wrangles her family and enjoys cooking, reading, and binging cozy British TV. Given endless time and resources, she’d be traveling the world.

Languages:

English, French, and Spanish.

Favorite cuisine:

Mexican, because it’s what I grew up with.

How did you get into the translation services industry?

Growing up bilingual, and then living abroad as a part of the Rotary Club student exchange program, I always found foreign languages and cultures fascinating. It was a natural next step to enter into this industry, where every day I’m given the opportunity to use the skills acquired over my lifetime.

If tomorrow you could speak another language fluently, which would it be?

Russian, Chinese, or Arabic would each be useful for their own reasons—I can’t choose!

Favorite place traveled abroad:

Florence, Italy ties with Paris, France. Both just gorgeous.

“The company culture fostered by Interpro is refreshingly open, collaborative, and welcoming. I love working as part of a team where all members are heard and actively encouraged to contribute new ideas, voice their opinions, and work together towards proactive solutions.”
