Business Objective

Every day doctors and scientists all over the world use English to communicate their ideas. Part of that communication involves preparing documents in English. It makes sense to want your English documents to be as clear and effective as documents you would prepare in your native language.

About Me:

Hi, I'm Tom Secrest, I was born in Indiana, USA. My younger years were spent in San Antonio, Texas, Orlean, France, and Washington D.C. I graduated from Wakefield High School and then I went on to get my B.S. degree from Virginia Tech University where I majored in Biology while meeting the minor requirements for Chemistry, Math and Philosophy. From there I moved to Texas and got my Masters Degree from Texas A&M University, where I majored in Zoology and minored in Psychological and Sociological measurements (statistics). After that I started work on my PhD at the University of Texas in Pharmacology. In 1985 I took a position with Austin Community College, in the Biology department. For the next 17 years I taught Human Anatomy & Physiology, Pharmacology, General Biology, Chemistry, Nutrition, Exercise Physiology and Microbiology to students preparing for medical school, dental school or nursing school. During this time I also taught at Southwestern University, in the Exercise Physiology Department. I also worked as an editor on a number of physiology and microbiology textbooks and authored dozens of instructional web sites and lab manuals, hundreds of educational resources and from 2007 -- 2009 I have worked as a web consultant for the General Biology Course Redesign Project for Austin Community College.

While my business keeps me very busy, I have still managed to keep one foot in the academic world; I currently teach on the 3rd Medical Faculty at Charles University in Prague.

I moved to Europe with the goal of setting up an editing & translation business. As more and more doctors and scientist work and publish in English, I knew there would be a need for someone with a Medical / Scientific background to provide top quality editing, translation, authoring and proofreading. So I'm here doing what I enjoy, doing one of the things I do best.

I hope you'll consider my service every time you need to produce a document in English. Whether it’s a medical abstract, PowerPoint presentation, web page, brochure, journal article, product manual or just an email -- these documents represent you to the public and it's my job to make sure your English is as perfect as your message.
