Profile:
Who I Am
I am a translator, medical writer, and editor based in Austin, Texas. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in medical and pharmaceutical communication, with a particular focus on regulatory and clinical trial documentation destined for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency, and Health Canada. As a result, I am well versed in the regulatory requirements for these agencies.
I am ATA certified for French into English and English into Spanish translation. In addition to translation, I offer medical writing services that create clear, precise, culturally appropriate content tailored for diverse audiences, as well as editing services that enhance clarity in scientific texts.
I am actively involved in the translation and medical writing communities, holding memberships in multiple national and local professional associations. I am committed to accuracy and effective communication and will go the extra step to make sure that every project that I undertake is of the highest quality.
