About me
After five years in the marketing department of a software consultancy, I have started a full-time service for translation and editing/revision from English to German more than 4 years ago.

Since then I have completed multiple projects both in marketing and PR, translating and editing press releases, brochures, newsletters, manuals, ads as well as internal company communications and subtitling. I work mainly in the field of travel & tourism, HR, IT/Software and general financial texts as well as consumer products.
