I translate from German into my native language, English, drawing on my interest in culture, food and science. I also take on selected writing and editing work.
If you need convincing, authentic English texts from a writer who will take the time to learn about your subject and your audience, ask the right questions, and go the extra mile to find out what you really want to say, you’ve come to the right place. Please get in touch!
