English -> German Translations, Editing, Proofreading, Copywriting

I can serve as your one-stop English into German translator, proofreader, and copywriter for almost any text related to your product or service offering for the German-speaking market. The fact that I am a native-speaking German living in Germany assures you that every translation reads as if it was originally written in German. This ensures that you optimally address your German-speaking target audience.

I hold a Master of Arts degree for both English and German, and have substantial marketing, advertising, and PR experience. I also have in-depth technical expertise and interests, and personally use many of my clients’ products, solutions, and services in my everyday life.

For over ten years, I have worked as a full-time professional translator. My reputation for quality has led me to become the EN>GER translator of first choice for renowned global companies and international translation & localization providers. I have translated, localized and edited the website content, corporate presentations and documents of many satisfied clients including various Fortune 500 companies. I am also an experienced German resume writer who can translate, edit, and transform your English CV / resume into a typical German CV / resume.



My areas of special expertise:

- Corporate communication: letters, quotations, website and intranet content
- Marketing and advertising: campaigns, brochures, leaflets, slogans, presentations
- Public relations: press releases, newsletters, B2C and B2B communications
- IT, TelCo and networks: cloud, storage, virtualization, backup, compliance, privacy, encryption, disaster recovery
- Consumer electronics: mobile end-devices, navigation, cameras, home entertainment
- Computer hardware and peripherals: e.g. tablet PCs, printers, storage media
- Travel, leisure and tourism: sights and attractions, hotel descriptions, travel guides
- Renewable energies: solar and wind power, management and reporting tools
- User manuals, operating / safety instructions and help systems
- Personal documents: CVs / resumes, cover letters, job applications
- Ghostwriting (German only): journalistic and literary texts (biographies)

Of course I am always open to requests for work in new areas of expertise, especially if they are already somewhat related to the aforementioned fields.
