Why Me?
What makes you the best person for your job?
I am a very passionate translator, always willing to learn and undergo training. My translation strategy is cultural oriented, so if you hire me for a translation job, I will always know how to make the message adequate to the target culture and readership. I am also very skilled with various software, able to provide DTP services. I never miss a deadline and I always provide foliow up to projects. Contact me. You will not regret it!

What is your best project so far? Why?
I recently worked on a 100,000 word clinical trial project. The project involved multiple services, including translation, subtitling and editing and intercultural consultancy. The target readership included both health professionals and study subjects, which means that different strategies had to be implemented depending on the target audience. At the end, the client was very happy with the work done by the Romanian team (myself and the reviewer).


What do your students / customers say about you?
All my clients have been satisfied with my work and are willing to further collaborate with me.
