Bio

I've been working in the translation industry for approximately 4 decades. I am not only a professional and highly experienced translator, but also a very reliable partner to work with.

Trusting your translation to a professional means getting the best results without any problems. A professional and experienced translator is aware of any potential issues.

If you are looking for a skillful medical translator in either Latvian into English, or English into Latvian language pairs, I have the expertise and knowledge to help.

I am familiar with and aware of any regulatory requirements in the medical field, EMA templates and their application, FDA requirements, as well as medical and legal terminology.

If you have written an e-book, a novel, a fiction or non-fiction book, scientific article or story, or if you need translation of blog and website content, my expertise will suit you well.

I am also a visual artist and art and lifestyle blogger (blogs in English) with large number of followers.

NOTE: I am interested only in translations, not review, editing or proofreading. I will consider only decent volume jobs which are paid at a reasonable rate. I don't review machine translations.

About me
:
My most valuable assets are my experience, personal features and the unique location. I live in the English-speaking part of Canada but retain excellent native language skills. I've been working and residing in Canada for 19 years.


I have been employed as an editor, writer, translator, art instructor and teacher. Currently, I ran my own teaching business and art school. I love tackling complicated tasks and seeking answers to challenging questions which appear during the translation process. My extensive experience in translation enables me to stay at the top of any translation tasks.


Along with translations of medical materials, I'm also writing my own articles about treatments, nutrition and natural treatments. My skills in the medical field include physical and mental health, as well as remarkable knowledge about instruments and medical devices, ability to interpret medical test results and diagnostic reports.

I have contributed to marketing and translation of many medicinal products. Their list includes many thousands of brand and generic names.
I am also writing and advising about lifestyle, health issues, management of type I diabetes, natural diets and the importance of creative activities in improvement of one's daily routine.
