ABOUT ME
I am a biochemical engineer and master of technical science; the translation is my second career. I worked for 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry R&D and QC, and I am a full-time freelance translator since 2013.
My former working experience helps me to understand the clients’ needs, and to operate as a valuable member of the team. Also, the engineering background and scientific way of thinking enabled me to identify and solve the problems with accuracy.
