INTRO

With 17+ years in the translation industry and a few million words underthe belt, I am a highly experienced Romanian linguist, excelling intranslation, LQA and language lead roles. I live in beautiful Transylvania andspend most of my free time with my wife and one, two, three, four beautifulchildren, and enjoy the company of a cat and a dog.

FOCUS

While I continue to offer top-level translation and transcreationservices, my experience and expertise has increasingly exposed mein recent years to more senior roles, including that of LQA specialistand language lead. As a trained terminologist I also hold skillsthat have proven useful to my clients in terminology-sensitiveindustries. Every now and then I like to take up a challenge, likedirecting VO artists or remote interpreting.

The best translators stand out by staying remarkably unnoticed. They, not unlike magicians, are only celebrated for a convincing disappearing act. - Cristian Sălăjan

MY COMMITMENT

My commitment is to deliver translations that sound as if originally written in Romanian, bound to go under the readers’ radar. I call that stealth translations. Your audience deserves it, and your business deserves a budget well spent.
