About me
CV available upon request.


My native language is German but I've been living in a bilingual environment - German and US English - since the mid 1970s.

In 1985 I earned my translator degree in economics issued by the Chamber of Trade and Industry, Berlin, Germany. At that time I had already been working as technical translator with USAF Civil Engineering in Berlin, Germany, for six years.

I'm also offering monolingual services in both German and English.

Thus far I have proofread and edited nearly 20 documents (novels, poetry, screenplays), and uncountable translations (German > English > German) of Civil Engineering content.

I am a published writer (in Germany) and poet (US English only). Furthermore I am interested in the various languages of the North American Natives.

Meine Muttersprache ist Deutsch, aber seit Mitte der 1970iger lebe ich in einem zweisprachigen Umfeld (Deutsch und US-Englisch).

1985 erwarb ich mein IHK Berlin Diplom als Wirtschaftsübersetzerin. Zu jener Zeit arbeitete ich bereits seit 6 Jahren als technische Übersetzerin in der Bau-und Betriebsabteilung der US Luftwaffe in Berlin.

Zudem biete ich einsprachige Dienste für Deutsch und Englisch an.

Bisher habe ich etwa 20 Dokumente (Romane, Poesie, Drehbücher), sowie unzählige Übersetzungen (deutsch > englisch > deutsch) mit bau- und betriebstechnischem Inhalt Korrektur gelesen und redigiert.

Ich bin publizierte Autorin (in Deutschland) und Dichterin (ausschließlich US-Englisch). Zudem bin ich an den Sprachen der nordamerikanischen Ureinwohner interessiert.
