What I'm looking for

I seek freelance or contract work in medical/pharmaceutical translation and MTPE, focused on quality, regulatory compliance and timely delivery.

I am a seasoned freelance medical and technical translator with over 26 years of experience, specialising in medical, pharmaceutical, technical and IT content. I have a degree in Modern Languages and Literatures (English and German studies) and extensive hands-on experience translating, proofreading and performing LQA and MTPE for international clients.

I have worked regularly for translation companies and clients across Europe and the US on regulatory documents, clinical trial protocols, ICFs, package inserts, medical device manuals and other specialised materials. I am proficient with Microsoft Office, Plunet and a wide range of CAT tools including SDL Trados Studio, Smartcat, Phrase (Memsource), MemoQ, Wordfast and others.

I deliver accurate, standards-compliant translations and thorough reviews informed by long-term domain knowledge and attention to regulatory guidelines. I prioritise quality, clear communication and timely delivery for clients in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, technical and IT sectors.
