I'm a former Registered General Nurse with more than 25 years' experience in medical and pharmaceutical translations.
In my day to day work, I translate clinical trial documentation, research articles for publication in medical journals, medical reports, and clinical practice guidelines. I work in many fields of medicine, but am particularly experienced in cardiology.
I have served on MET's Council since 2016 and was elected Chair in October 2020.
