What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging multilingual translation and interpreting expertise—especially medical and documentation work—in collaborative, professional settings that value accuracy, confidentiality, and steady deadlines.

I am a seasoned translator, interpreter, and journalist with over a decade facilitating clear, accurate, and culturally nuanced communication across medical, educational, IT, arts, gaming, and historical content.

I have translated more than 20 million words and interpreted over 35 medical sessions with 99% accuracy, delivering high-quality work while maintaining strict confidentiality and professionalism.

My background includes live television production, journalism, and producing, plus international experience living in New Zealand and the United States which deepened my cross-cultural expertise and language skills.

I am committed to precise terminology, timely delivery, and adaptable service across freelance and institutional roles, with proven success in medical translation, simultaneous interpretation, documentation translation, and reviewer responsibilities.
