About Me

Linguistic Mastery Meets Cultural Finesse – Precisely Crafting Your Message with Authenticity and Impact

I focus on my work as a translator, operating with precision and passion in German and English, specializing in German to English and English to German translations of business texts, marketing materials, and technical documentation.
Since January 2025, I have been offering these services, combining my linguistic expertise with a deep understanding of economic and technical contexts.

I am an expert in storytelling

In parallel, since August 2022, I have been working in the field of web design & storytelling, where I support founders and entrepreneurs with authentic storytelling.
My ability to communicate the benefits of offerings clearly and convincingly helps turn prospects into customers and customers into enthusiastic fans.

Expert in sales, business development and research and development

I am an experienced professional with a broad background in sales, business development, and research & development. I hold an MBA in General Management from Steinbeis University Berlin and a degree as a Diplom-Ingenieur (FH) in Surface Technology and Materials Science from Aalen University of Applied Sciences.
My career also includes leadership positions in the fuel cell industry as well as management and consulting activities in various sectors.

I am very interested in foreign cultures and personal development

Beyond my professional qualifications, I am passionate about exploring foreign cultures, continuous personal development, and holistic well-being. My diverse interests include sustainability, further education, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and practicing yoga. These pursuits not only enrich my personal life but also provide me with unique perspectives that enhance my professional capabilities.

As a writer in my native language, this is how I would describe my style

As a native-language writer, I emphasize clarity, cultural awareness, and authenticity in my process. I try to create writing that flows well for the target audience but accurately reflects the source material. My approach balances accuracy with smoothness—translating technical documents, marketing copy, or creative pieces, I ensure the tone remains appropriate to the project’s intention and consistent with the client’s voice.

For instance, in translating text, I avoid literal expression that might sound stilted or foreign to readers. Instead, I favor idiomatic language and situational comprehension, sharpening sentences to engage emotionally or intellectually, depending on the purpose. In fiction writing, this might mean sustaining rhythm and metaphor; in technical writing, it is keeping complex ideas simple without sacrificing accuracy.
