Knowledge and Experience

With four years of experience and a fascination with medicine, I have had the pleasure of working on many research articles, and I am also proud to help individual patients and  contribute to drug development through accurate, clear, and professional-looking translations.

Native Expertise

One of the few English-native translators specialized in medicine in these languages. Choose native English for complete clarity, expressed in a way that looks professional and makes the most sense to the reader.

 Attention to Detail

Units, numbers, tags, spacing – you name it. A keen eye for the small things. Absolute adherence to style guides and conventions in the field.
