Experience

Erica Meier is quality team and development editor for Health. In her role, she is a champion for those who are seeking health-related information by making jargon-laden medical knowledge available and accessible to everyone.

Aside from editing for Health, Erica Meier also provides professional medical translations, which she has been doing for over 15 years. As a translator, she guards and preserves the integrity of the English language from the intrusion of a foreign language.

By transforming the highly technical medical language into a message people can understand, I want to empower others to make educated decisions about their physical, mental, and emotional health.
