About me

I have been in the industry for over 28 years, working for both direct clients and agencies. I moved to Glasgow, Scotland, 4 years ago and founded MPR Medical Translator Ltd. along with my husband — we put our passion for languages into all the projects we work on.

Throughout the years, I have proved my ongoing commitment and professional development — I have attended different courses, events, seminars, webinars, workshops, etc., establishing networks and bonds with many colleagues across the world.

Interviews and a very special article

Also, it is said that it all begins with an idea, and that is how we moved to Scotland and founded MPR Medical Translator Ltd. I wrote an article about our adventure: “Life is too short to stand still”.
