Bio

English to Chinese Senior Life Sciences & Luxury Transcreation Linguist | B.Sc. in Biochemistry


Looking for sustainable, long-term collaboration with premium agencies and direct corporate clients.


About Me & My Philosophy

To me, translation is never a "word-for-word" puzzle game; it is a rigorous, analytical thinking process. Backed by a B.Sc. in Biochemistry from the University of Saskatchewan (Canada) and 4.5 years of living, studying, and working across Canada and the UK, I bridge the gap between complex scientific data and nuanced cultural communication.


Since 2009, I have treated translation as a discipline of precision. I am dedicated to delivering flawless, audit-ready text on time, every time, ensuring zero management overhead for my clients.


Life Sciences & Clinical Trial Specialization (Since 2014)

Leveraging my academic biochemistry foundation, I translate high-stakes medical and regulatory documentation. I regularly partner with leading global CROs and specialized life sciences agencies. My core expertise includes:

• Clinical Trial Protocols & Amendments

• Investigator’s Brochures (IB)

• Informed Consent Forms (ICF) & Patient Materials

• PRO / ePRO / ClinPRO instruments

• Scientific Journals, Patents, & Medical Regulations


Luxury Brand Localization & Corporate Transcreation

Beyond scientific precision, I specialize in transcreation for premium Western brands. I adapt corporate culture, internal training assets, and marketing materials to ensure global prestige lands authentically in the Chinese market:

• Internal staff training & corporate compliance materials

• Internal notices & cross-border corporate communications

• External product information & marketing localization


Services Offered

Translation • Editing • Proofreading • Transcreation •
