Background

About Nicoleta Vacaru

For last year's words belong to last year's language And next year's words await another voice.” ― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets Well, I am that voice! I believe that translators are creators and mediators between cultures, people skilled at open-source research and extraction of valuable pieces of information to find the meaning behind words. I am a native Romanian, a passionate and loyal translator, and dedicated reviser and proofreader. Loyal she said. What's loyalty got to do with being a linguist? Well, it means commitment to accuracy, translation of context and meaning and not of mere words - this is what makes you taste the flavor of the culture behind the words and appearances. In other words: high-quality deliverables. I am experienced in technical and non-tehcnical language (Protocol Synopses, ICFs, patient documents, regulatory correspondence, clinical site documentation, leaflets, internal communications, PMs, PIs, labels, etc.) and possess a general understanding of ICH-GCP and EU regulatory principles. People say I'm crazy organized which is true. They also say I am meticulous and detailed-oriented, and since I edited and proofread hundreds of documents, this is also true. I am positive, kind, honest, and non-conflictual. I have learned that it is important to get along with others, understand where people are coming from without passing unecessary judgement, and make them feel appreciated and seen. Loyalty, integrity and sound ethics motivate me in my life and work. Involved in volunteer activities on a permanent basis. Experienced in CAT tools (FlowFit and Logiterm). And in conclusion. “You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.” ― Annie Proulx
