Translation and Interpreting Services You Can Trust

Meet Devon Reed, Translation Project Manager for Language Network.

Her interest in languages was first sparked by her father’s ability to speak Spanish, eventually leading her to choose a career in the language industry. Devon moved from the United States to Argentina and has built a dual-continent family, often bouncing back-and-forth between the two countries. One of Devon’s proudest accomplishments is taking the initiative to go back to school to get her master’s degree from Kent State University in Ohio. After she went back for her master’s, she was able to find a good fit in language project management, having worked in this role for over five years now.
