Bio

I can help you with translation, proofreading, and language review of documents such as:

- User manuals
- Clinical trial protocols
- Medical records
- Research papers
- Regulatory documentation
- Patient information brochures
- Product leaflets, labeling

My main specialisation fields include:

- User manuals of medical devices and surgical instruments
- Documentation related to laboratory diagnostics and clinical trial protocol
- Research papers in the field of Nursing, Public Health, Internal Medicine, Neurology, etc.
- Other regulatory documentation and letters

I acquired knowledge of medical terminology while teaching English at the Faculty of Medicine in Martin. Translating the papers for my colleagues at the faculty encouraged me to move in a new direction.

Besides medicine, I am interested in cognitive translatology and the related branches of linguistics and psychology. While doing my Master´s studies, I discovered that brain functioning and information processing during reading fascinates me. This lead me to enroll in a course of psycholinguistics at a summer school at the University in Utrecht. Later, as I was researching my dissertation thesis topic, I returned to add to my knowledge of reading processes using an eye-tracking method.

As a mentor, I am involved in the continuous professional development of medical translators and teachers of medical English. I am a board member in the following:
- The Slovak Society of Translators of Scientific and Technical Literature (SSPOL)
- European Association of Language Teachers for Healthcare (EALTHY)

My passion for traveling goes well with attending international conferences and networking with colleagues from around the world.
