I graduated the Medical Faculty in Sofia with a M.D. degree. Immediately after that I started working as a general practitioner, a community physician in the north-eastern part of the country. Later I was appointed a hospital physician to the therapeutics department of a large district hospital.

My further career continued in a research institute where I worked in the field of cell and molecular biology. There I defended my Ph.D. thesis and attained later the academic rank of a research associate professor (senior research fellow).

My experience in translating began when I found that professional translators did not know, at least well, the specific terminology and language of a given scientific field. I recognized also that a good Bulgarian to English translation of a scientific text needs a deep knowledge of the specific research done and is associated with a lot of editorial efforts. This is why I make such translations only for close friends. Of course, free of charge.

For these reasons I prefer to make only English to Bulgarian translations in the various areas of medicine and biology which I know professionally well. I have also rather extensive experience in translating patents in the same field.

I have much more than 1,000,000 words translated to date.
