Bio
I have extensive experience in sales/marketing, business finance, accounting, information technology, and I also have profound knowledge in Contract/Tort and medicine. I graduated as a registered nurse. I obtained a First Class Honors in BA (Hons) Bilingual Studies, and I also have an MA degree in Translation/Interpretation and an MBA degree. I am certified for SDL Trados Studio 2014 for Translators in all levels. I lived in Sydney for 15 years, and I am now living in Hong Kong.

WORK EXPERIENCE IN TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION

I started translation and interpretation work in 2005 in Sydney. But I heavily involved in translation and interpretation jobs since 2010 when I returned to Hong Kong. My main area of translation and interpretation is in medical, legal and commercial documents. My language pairs are: English > Chinese (both traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese) and vice versa.

I have been working with a legal transcription company and other legal agencies for legal translations since 2010 for court transcripts (some couple thousand to over ten thousand words per case), and legal contracts and documents. I also attend contract disputes in the tribunals and The Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) as an interpreter for witnesses.

I have been working with pharmaceutical translation agencies for a couple of years for medical translations and editing. The jobs are mainly for patients’ informed consents for testing drugs, instructions for medical devices and medical consumer products. Each document is about five hundred to a couple of thousand words.

I have been working with a few financial and banking agencies for financial bulletins and marketing material.

I have been working with a few movies subtitling agencies for movies subtitling.

I have been working with customers for consecutive interpretations and accompanying customers on business trips and trade shows. I also work as a consecutive and simultaneous interpreter for a couple of business conventions.

I translated two books of 400 pages each in Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Links to these two books are provided below:

Modern Essentials - 現代精油: 現代精油療法指南 3rd edition in Traditional Chinese

Alan Higley, Author and Business Owner.

We have utilized Daniel's translation skills now for over 3 years. He has translated a large (over 400 pages), very technical book with over 600 medical conditions and many medical studies and reviews. We have been impressed with his attention to detail and his use of translation software to help maintain consistency throughout such a large and technical book. His medical training and proficiencies in both English and Chinese have been a tremendous benefit to our translation needs. Daniel is a wonderful individual! He is professional, personable, honest, and extremely reliable. He strives to understand the context of a project to provide the most accurate translation possible. There have been a couple of occasions where his Interpretation skills were utilized in face to face meetings, and he performed very well. We have been extremely pleased with his work and his abilities. We highly recommend him to anyone that could use his skills!
