Hello,
My name is Sibylle Gray and I am a freelance translator, covering various fields and languages; delivering professional translations in a timely manner is my trademark.
I grew up in and around a U.S. Military community in Germany; English and German are my native languages. I am married to a U.S. citizen (former military) and we are currently residing in Texas, USA. Besides an M.A. in translation, with additional certification in medical translation, I also have a degree in nursing and emergency medicine, therefore my specialty fields include: medicine, military (U.S. Military/government), marketing research and private security. I have broad experience in translating and proofreading various text types (English, German), as well as in doing (medical) transcripts and (medical) coding.
My language combinations are:
German - English, English - German, Spanish - English, Spanish - German.

I also took 5 years of French in school, studied French at the University of Heidelberg and took 6 years of Latin in school (certificate: "Großes Latinum").
