About me

As managing project translator for a gas plant project in Spain (2003 - to date) I have gained valuable experience in translating documents for multiple engineering disciplines. My other projects include technical, journalism and marketing related translations for several clients. As an outstanding example, I have recently translated Robert Kronenburg's book "Portable Architecture" into German.

My educational background includes not only certification as a translator, but also studies in building renovations and my current studies as childbirth educator, birth and postpartum doula and nursing counselor.

My rates include final proofreading by a second German native speaker and formatting.
