Education and Experience
Master's degree in pharmacy (2017)
Registered pharmacist in the UK

My linguistic experience was formed at the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, Inc., working on book publishing.

In 2000, I started working as a freelance translator, specializing in the pharmaceutical field. In 2017 I was awarded a master's degree in pharmacy from the University of Brighton (UK). My thesis was about encapsulation of metal nanoparticles as potential theranostics (simultaneously acting as therapeutic and diagnostic) agents. Having finished the practice at community pharmacy, I am now completely focused on pharmaceutical and medical writing and translations.

I mostly translate documents for regulatory submission that include summary of product characteristics, patient leaflets and related documentation.
I provide value added services to clients who need to follow strict process for regulatory acceptance. The benefits of my services are minimized delays, better communication and more effective marketing.
 
Specialization
I specialize in medical translations combining healthcare professional's perspective with industry procedures. I take extra care to ensure terminology compliance and consistency. The first thing is to ensure that I have understood client's needs and that I have sufficient expertise required for each job. If necessary, I perform research and receive training. When translating, my main concern is the target reader; translations not only need to be of correct meaning but also need to be written in a native style, professional language and at appropriate educational level. 

Work practices
I follow good translation practice and I always check that all necessary steps are completed to ensure high quality. Medical translation is the area where quality as a process is essential. I also respect the confidentiality of my clients and translation agencies and never disclose their information to anyone without written consent. My computer and files are well protected from any security breaches.

I provide translation, revision, proofreading and quality control services. I can perform quality assurance and translation validation services, including cognitive debriefing and linguistic testing that can identify and evaluate communicative aspects of a target text, assess readability, and identify any comprehension issues in advance.
