About me

Script translation and video/DVD subtitling

I am an experienced singer and performer, confident in German, Italian, French, British English and my native American English. Thanks to many years' stage training, I have an intuitive grasp of pacing, characterization, drama, and everything that adds up to a good script.

Building on my natural attention to detail, I also have several years' experience in proof reading, type-setting, and copy editing. Let my perfectionist streak work on your behalf.

My husband has a Ph.D. in radar signal processing and works in the defense/aerospace industry. We have worked together on several projects and are eager to leverage his expertise into my translation business.

I have translated and edited sub- and supertitles, treatments, brochures, medical and scientific documents, scripts, and documentaries, helping my clients make a direct connection to their English-speaking target audience.

My successful client base includes Sony Pictures International, Varian Inc., AZ Media AG, the Orange County Museum of Art, and Opera Pacific, among others.
