MY BACKGROUND

A professional path shaped by language and science.

I am a freelance Medical Translator and Editor with over 13 years of professional experience in translation, editing and validation of clinical and scientific content.

A native speaker of Italian and Dutch, I hold English C2 (ESOL International) and French C1 (DALF) certifications. I work with Italian, English, Dutch, German and French.

I hold a Master of Arts (MA) in Languages for Communication in International Enterprises and Organisations (LACOM). I am currently studying Medicine and Surgery and completing my studies in Psychology, further developing my understanding of clinical and behavioural sciences.

Since 2013, I have worked on more than 30,000 medical documents, including clinical records, diagnostic reports, referral letters, scientific articles, case reports and materials relating to medical devices and pharmaceutical products. I collaborate with translation agencies, healthcare professionals and multidisciplinary research teams. I am also the co-author of seven peer-reviewed scientific publications.

MY APPROACH

Accuracy is not an afterthought.

Medical translation requires more than language proficiency. It depends on understanding terminology, clinical context and the exact meaning of every detail.

I prioritize source-text fidelity, terminological consistency, coherent style and careful quality checks. This means reviewing numbers, dates, laboratory values, units of measurement and technical formatting with as much care as the language itself.

My work is supported by scientific literature, medical reference resources (including PubMed and Embase), ongoing professional development and CAT tools including SDL Trados Studio and memoQ.
