Career / Experience

Reliable Medical and Financial Translations for All Your Company Needs

I graduated from the Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest in 2006, with a subsequent Master’s Degree in Economics earned in the year 2008. At the same time I obtained other important linguistic qualifications, including certification as a translator and interpreter from the Ministry of Education in 2003 and a Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English, awarded with grade A in 2001.

My translation experience is of more than 15 years, and the array of my work in financial translation is extensive, covering investment fund prospectuses/KIIDs, market reports, banking brochures, accounting documents, marketing text, etc. I am the lead linguist for NN Investment Partners Romania.

My experience with EU law and other related fields is also vast, as I translated a 400-page training on EU migration law (English to Romanian), I translated and/or edited various SCAD legislative summaries (hundreds of pages from English and French to Romanian over several years).

I also have over 10+ years' medical translation experience from English and French into Romanian and occasionally Romanian to English, as well. I have covered an extensive number of translation/review and linguistic validation projects in both Clinical Trials and Pharmaceuticals, and I can also cover any medical/life science field due to my previous translation experience.

Work Method: I always proofread my translations very closely before delivery.

My proofreading includes:
- Confronting the printed translated version against the printed original, for a speedier and more accurate editing.
- A responsible terminological re-check.
- Spell checking.
- Streamlining the rendition into a pleasant sounding and (where applicable) culturally adapted, yet faithful, version of the original.

Availability: You will find me online/on the phone from 10.00 to 00.00 Romanian time (EET).
If you need me for an urgent project you might wish to check my local time.
