Message

At the company importing and distributing pharmaceutical products, medical devices, dental products and equipment, I assist the director and coordinate operations across four departments. I communicate with domestic and foreign suppliers, negotiate new forms of cooperation, and coordinate imports, transport and logistics.

I also provide simultaneous, consecutive and written translations in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary medicine and chemistry, using my certified court interpreter seal. Since 2014, I’ve also translated documents for Oxford Education Centre Banja Luka.

Earlier, with the European Union Police Mission and OSCE, I worked in spokesperson, press and interpreting roles. My work included media relations, public information campaigns and translation, as well as reporting and analysis on policing, crime and political-security developments.
