"Words travel worlds. Translators do the driving."

I completed vocational training as a foreign language correspondent for English/Russian language and Economics after my school graduation.

During my studies I also worked as a student assistant in a counsulting firm.

About Me

I am a reliable, quick and passionate translator living in Berlin and offer high-quality translations helping to reach your target audience easily. I am always eager to keep myself up-to-date in the fields I work in so that I can provide you with the best possible knowledge.

I have several years of experience in linguistic activities such as producing translations in technical, academic and marketing environment as well as working in different positions in the office management and finance departments. Since 2016 I work as a freelance translator and I am looking for interesting translation/proofreading/editing projects.

As a native German, I have completed my bachelor’s degree at the University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal in Technical Translation. I have spent a full academic year in Finland as an Erasmus student. The CAT tool I mainly work with is MemoQ. I have great knowledge of Microsoft Office through working with it constantly over the years.

Besides translation, I also provide proofreading and editing services. Feel free to contact me, if you need expert help for your business. I would be happy to support you.

This is what motivates me to do my best work

I always strive to choose the right words to make my translation readable for the target audience. I need as much information or reference material about the project as possible, and a good communication with the client is essential to me. I like constructive feedback on my work in order to improve.

This is how I continue my learning in my area of expertise

As a linguist it is important for me to keep up with new technologies and developments related to the language industry. I often take courses to keep myself up to date and read a lot of articles related to my fields. To maintain my language skills I am active in social media communities.

I am also in the proccess of learning other languages, e.g. Swedish and Norwegian. My future plan is to offer my services as a Swedish/Norwegian to German translator besides English to German.
