About me

Before becoming a full-time translator and proofreader two years ago I repeatedly translated and edited technical texts as well as brochures and manuals about software and quality assurance while being an online editor for a consultancy on software quality. I have been editing both, German and English texts.

I also have been doing translations of event programs (in the field of real estate) and prose/literary texts following studies in English and American literature and linguistics.

	X Why did the menu change? The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to. The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability. More information on the changes... Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu? Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
