I have been working as a project manager and coordinator for a tech based language learning service for several years, and I am skilled at a variety of software platforms as well as employee management and project scheduling, linguistics, etc. I have worked on the technical side of the projects as well as community management for several hundred volunteers from all over the globe who have various roles in our system.
