Language expertise backed by scientific experience
When technical accuracy matters, subject-matter expertise makes a difference
Medical and scientific translation requires more than fluency in two languages. It requires an understanding of the concepts, terminology and context behind the words.
My background in biotechnology and biomedical research allows me to work confidently with highly technical content and communicate complex information accurately and clearly. I combine this scientific knowledge with professional translation expertise to deliver language solutions that are precise, consistent and appropriate for their intended audience.
I work with English (UK, Canada and US) and French (Canada and France), helping organizations and professionals communicate effectively across languages and markets.
Scientific expertise behind every translation
When your content is highly technical, linguistic expertise alone is not enough. I combine a strong scientific background with extensive experience in medical translation and localization to deliver accurate, clear and reliable language solutions.

Specialized language services
Medical and technical content requires more than language expertise. With a PhD in biotechnology, 20+ years of biomedical research experience and 10+ years in medical translation and localization, I bring scientific understanding and linguistic precision to every project.
Medical & life sciences translation
Accurate translation for highly specialized content
I provide English-French medical translation for organizations working across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, clinical research and the life sciences. My scientific background allows me to understand complex terminology and subject matter while keeping the translated content clear, accurate and appropriate for its audience.
I work on a wide range of materials, including clinical trial documentation, clinical research materials, medical device documentation, pharmaceutical content, drug monographs, patient-facing materials, healthcare communications, scientific and biomedical content, veterinary materials and public outreach medical information.
My background in biomedical research means I can engage with the subject matter itself—not just the language—bringing an added level of accuracy and confidence to highly technical projects.

Editing, proofreading & linguistic review
A second expert eye for medical and scientific content
Even a technically accurate translation needs to read naturally in its target language. I provide medical translation editing, proofreading and linguistic review to help ensure that your content is clear, consistent and ready for its intended audience.
I review medical, pharmaceutical, clinical, scientific and healthcare materials for terminology, grammar, style, consistency, accuracy and readability. I can also review translated content produced by another translator or support quality assurance workflows where a specialized medical-language review is required.
My goal is simple: to make sure your content says exactly what it needs to say—and reads as though it was written for its target audience from the start.

Localization for medical & healthcare audiences
More than translation: language adapted to the people who will use it
Medical content often needs to be adapted to a specific market, audience or cultural context. I provide medical and life sciences localization services in English and French, helping clients ensure that their content is not only linguistically correct but also appropriate for its intended users.
My localization work can include patient-facing materials, public outreach and medical communications, clinical content, pharmaceutical materials, medical device content and other healthcare information. I pay close attention to terminology, tone, audience expectations and regional language differences across French and English variants.
The result is content that feels natural and relevant to its audience while preserving the accuracy of the original message.
Cognitive debriefing
Expert linguistic support for clinical outcome assessments
I also provide cognitive debriefing services for clinical research, including work with clinical outcome assessment (COA) and patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments.
Cognitive debriefing helps assess whether translated instruments are understood as intended by the target population. My combination of linguistic expertise and biomedical knowledge allows me to contribute to this process with careful attention to meaning, terminology, clarity and patient understanding.
I can support projects across a range of clinical areas, working with CROs, pharmaceutical companies and other organizations involved in clinical research and patient-centered outcomes.

Healthcare interpreting
Professional medical English-French interpreting when communication matters most
I provide professional English-French interpreting services in healthcare and general settings, helping patients, healthcare professionals and organizations communicate clearly and confidently across languages.
Depending on your needs, interpreting can be provided consecutively, over the phone, virtually through remote interpreting, or in person. I approach every assignment with professionalism, discretion and sensitivity to the people and situations involved.
Healthcare communication requires more than interpreting words. It requires careful listening, accurate communication and an understanding of the context in which information is being exchanged.
