I handle translation, post-editing, and linguistic quality assurance for clinical trials and life sciences documentation, including protocols, patient diaries, and informed consent forms. As a contractor, I’ve supported providers including Acclaro Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific, Toppan Digital, Atlas Translations, and Translation Empire.

At IDEMIA, I translated and quality-controlled confidential technical and legal documents for a Greek procurement tender, including a 500-page tender. I also built and maintained a subject-matter term base and glossary, and helped resolve a production-line discrepancy during the bid.
