Bio

English ↔ Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) Translator · Editor · Reviewer
Native in English and Chinese · Traditional & Simplified Chinese → English

I am a Taipei-based bilingual translator, editor and reviewer, native in both English and Chinese, working across English ↔ Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) and Traditional/Simplified Chinese → English.

I have worked full-time in language services since 2018, following 19 years in international business management, manufacturing, product development, contracts, marketing and business-unit leadership.

I specialize in complex requirements, urgent timelines and terminology-intensive content where accuracy, consistency and release readiness matter. My work covers clinical and regulatory documentation, technical and engineering content, automotive and HMI, IT and cybersecurity, legal and compliance, business and finance, and public-facing communications.

My approach combines source accuracy, native target-language judgment, evidence-based terminology research, official and industry-source verification, strict client-instruction compliance, long-document consistency and final linguistic QA.
