Translation Portfolio - Teach Translate Travel Repeat

This translation portfolio is a complication of the various translation projects I have worked on and can post here. Most of the work below contains direct links for you to see the final product. As I specialise in medical, technical and scientific translations, I often translate material that will never make it to the attention of the general public and/or are confidential. Examples of confidential materials this include patient records, the internal materials of companies, etc. The following translation portfolio only contains published documents that the public can access.

My Own Publications

Long before becoming a translator and a teacher, I had publications of my own from my time as a budding engineer/scientist. This was also long before TeachTranslateTravelRepeat. If you are looking for those, they can be found below. Note how much I have grown since that time (especially in terms of language)! Please remember that these publications were written in conjunction with other authors. The style of writing reflects the input from other collaborators as well as my own at the time (which has changed drastically).
