| | consulting1 (X) Native in Croatian Freelancer | Bio: I was born in Zagreb, Croatia in 1951. Part of my childhood I spent in Africa and attended an Irish missionary school. I graduated in social anthropology and archeology at the University of Zagreb, and later received the Masters degree in the same field. The years 1980 ...and 1981 I spent in London as a fellow at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations. I began my career as translator in 1982 as a medical translator and event organizer at the Zagreb Institute of Public Health. This lasted until 1991. The next ten years I ran a company for graphic design and publication management. In 2000 I returned to the field of translating, but now with a broader range of topics, biomedical sciences being one of the most prominent fields. My biggest single assignment was a translation for the Hague Tribunal on Crimes in Former Yugoslavia (600 pages). I am a member of the Catholic Charismatic Movement and translated several books and CDs related to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola. The translating business is at the moment pretty bad in Croatia and I am contemplating another turn in my career psychologically and religiously catering to persons who are dying. I feel that many years in the Charismatic Movement have qualified me for this.More Less |
