Γενικά

Due to ever increasing numbers of translating commissions during 2003, I left employment to become a full time freelance at the start of 2004. My specialty is in medicine and pharmaceuticals. Typical assignments include hospital discharge reports, regulatory drug documentation and biomedical journal articles, although I translate other material as well. I translate from French, German, Spanish, Polish, Croatian and Slovenian into English and also do proofreading of translations. My clients include agencies in UK, USA, Canada, Germany, France, Spain and Poland.

1979-1984: Freelance work as editor and translator in Zagreb. Clients included a pharmaceutical company, several scientific journals, and individual scientists.
