Bio

I remember myself as a 10 year old boy in my parents' car telling them that I want to become a translator when I grow up...

Years passed by and I found myself working as a translator since 2007 in order to finance my medical studies in Germany. I grew accustomed with the field and its' many nuances. Translation became my core business after working with 100's of clients and gathering experience in a large variety of technical subjects and fields.

Following 6 years of study, I became a medical doctor in 2016 and started working in Neurology and 5,5 years later in Psychiatry.

Life took another turn and I found my passion for regulatory compliance and business and I started consulting companies in legal matters relating to pharmaceutical export/import, production of active pharmaceutical ingredients and final products, and regulatory compliance relating to conducting clinical trials in different countries around the world. 


Over 16 years later, I still find passion in finding the right words to communicate and to find the best way possible to deliver the most accurate message to whomever is reading on the other side.


My philosophy as a translator

Communication and Honesty
Thanks to having ample experience in the modern translation world, I understand that prompt and honest communication is integral to working as a translator. Whether it’s a question of availability or ability to handle a specific subject, you can be sure that I will provide honest and straightforward feedback.

Deadlines are deadlines
Although the late Douglas Adams would disagree (“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by”) - deadlines to me are one of the most important parts of giving the service I provide. I don’t like to be kept waiting, and I won’t keep my deadlines waiting after I was supposed to meet them.

Do what you love
As a language and translation enthusiast, I find joy in finding the perfect expression to translate not only the words but also the spirit of what my client wants to say.
