Freelance translation from German into English, specializing in patent-related materials, including telecommunications, medical technology (particularly imaging systems), electronics and microelectronics, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and automotive technology. My background includes more than three years (1996-1999) as a full-time in-house translator (German-English and French-English) at a major Chicago intellectual property law firm. I continue to work with several patent law firms on a freelance basis.
