German-to-English Translator
Berlin | San Francisco

ACADEMIC
linguistics | social sciences | cultural studies

I earned my M.A. in Linguistics with a focus on social and applied linguistics. My academic translations unravel the underlying complexity and implications of culturally-based attitudes, perceptions, and ideologies. Translation is a journey into the singular mind of the author as well as the ideas, viewpoints, ideologies, and norms of the collective, which often do not equate with the familiar ideas of native (monolingual) English speakers. My job is to elegantly and lucidly translate not only the words on the page, but also the underlying worlds they reflect.

MARKETING
tech | retail | luxury

Memorable marketing messages require enticing hooks. My insight into the American market, and especially West Coast culture and the tech industry, reaches far and wide. I will craft an eloquent text to attract your target audience.

TECHNICAL
mechanical & drive technology | procurement

Seasoned by my expertise as an in-house translator at a top-tier translation agency in Berlin, I am proficient at describing mechanical and automotive systems and processes to lay audiences and experts alike.
