Bio

I have been
working as a freelance translator, specializing in medical translation, for
nine years. I have translated texts ranging from medical health/hospital
reports, scientific articles, medical device documentation, clinical protocols,
information sheets and reports, ethics committee documentation, ICFs and
pharmaceutical documentation, including PIs, SmPCs, PILs, labelling and AE
reporting. I most commonly use Trados Studio, XTM and Memsource/Phrase but have
experience of many more, including MemoQ.

I have completed a number of online course "Clinical Trials and Medical Documentation" and plan to continue CPD.

I take pride in having my translations meticulously accurate and at the same time creating a natural sounding English text.
My background was originally scientific; over a period of fifteen years, I carried out medical research in a teaching hospital environment, part of the time in Berlin where as well as doing my own research I helped my workmates out with writing and proofreading papers and theses. I worked in the research in a Pathology department using techniques such as histopathology, immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, PCR, FISH, DNA and RNA in-situ hybridisation with a focus on lymphoma, so I am very particularly comfortable translating those topics. Later when working for a medical devices company, I was involved with maintaining compliance records, CE marking etc and communicating these with the customers.

I have also worked extensively in administration in the wine industry and engineering. Having worked in both the UK and USA, I feel confident in translating into either language variant.

I am a published author. I was a tender coordinator for a large multi disciplinary company creating large tender submissions for international projects. I have experience in working in Adobe InDesign both in preparing interdisciplinary tenders and in publishing. My interests are sculpture and art, writing, literature, genealogy, gardening, cooking, cycling and music
