Ioana Cretu is the ESPSIG Mark Krzanowski Scholarship winner for the IATEFL 2025 conference in Edinburgh. Here she introduces herself:
My name is Ioana and I am a global villager from Romania and a freelance ESP professional specialised in medical English and scientific writing. I’m also an OET preparation partner and a certified medical translator. That we can connect is one of the deepest mysteries, and I accept the challenge! I love my work, but also my garden, dogs, sci-fi, early mornings, cooking for friends, autumns in Greece. I hear songs in emails and am currently learning Vaalan, the language of the Northern Lights. “Hurry slowly” is my mantra, which is no excuse for my website ioanacretu.ro being half-done, but there you have it. Meet me in Edinburgh and fill in the gaps with joy and laughter!
