Words grounded in understanding
I am a full-time freelance Senior Translator and localization specialist based in Singapore. With professional experience since 2001 and more than 25 years in translation, I help organizations communicate with Bengali-speaking audiences through accurate, natural, and well-presented language.
My work spans medical and clinical research, education, digital products, public information, legal-related content, marketing, and research materials. I also provide editing, typesetting, transcription, and linguistic quality support.
A research-minded approach
My academic training in biochemistry and life science has shaped the way I work: examine the source, investigate terminology, ask when something is unclear, and pay attention to detail. At the same time, the final text needs to work for its reader.
