What I'm looking for

I seek remote contract or freelance roles in medical/technical/legal localization where I can apply deep clinical-trial expertise, high-volume translation/MTPE, and rigorous QA to support regulatory-ready deliverables.

I am a driven, detail-oriented outsourced linguist with over 20 years of experience delivering high-quality translation, editing, MTPE, QA and localization services across medical, technical and legal domains.

I combine deep knowledge of clinical trials, regulatory affairs, eCOA and medical devices with strong translation and post-editing throughput, having produced over 300,000 certified words in the past year and daily capacities up to 4,500 MT post-edited words.

My freelance work emphasizes accuracy, preservation of tone and meaning, and careful research using specialised dictionaries and CAT tools such as Trados Studio, MemoQ, Memsource and Wordfast to meet clients' formatting and regulatory requirements.

I also have teaching and public-sector experience, having taught Italian, English and Spanish as L2 and managed electronic data processing projects for a regional government, demonstrating strong project management, quality assurance and stakeholder communication skills.
