Bio

DE-​>EN Translator for Clinical Trials, Plain Language, and Health Literacy

I provide highly specialized DE->EN translation and editing across three core domains:

- Clinical Trial Documentation: Study Protocols, ICFs, IBs, Plain-Language Summaries, Pediatric Adaptations, etc.

- Linguistic Validation: Back translation, reconciliation/harmonization, and forward translation of cognitive debriefing interview guides

- MedComms & Patient Health Literacy: Patient education materials, caregiver guides, lay communications, etc.

I have 10+ years of medical translation, editing, and QC experience in clinical trial documentation, linguistic validation, medical records, pharmacovigilance, medical market research, and patient-facing health communication. As a result of this broad range of subjects, I bring deep expertise in deciphering complex German medical syntax and adapting the register, style, and vocabulary of my translations to suit diverse target audiences.

My linguistic work is supported by formal AMWA medical editing and regulatory documents coursework (in progress), multiple NASM certifications and specializations, and 10 years of K–12 teaching experience. This unique combination enables me to break down complex medical concepts for any reading level—bridging the gap between high-stakes regulatory compliance and accessible, patient-centered health literacy to deliver first-pass, submission-ready English text.
