Bio

I am a German>English, Spanish>English translator with nearly twenty-five years of professional experience and a primary focus on corporate documents, although my areas of expertise and experience reach far beyond the corporate realm. Among the main ones, one can find the following broad categories: Corporate (including documents such as marketing, PR, development plans, manuals, and internal communications), engineering and technical (particularly when dealing with electrical and electronics engineering), IT, and legal (primarily contracts). Furthermore, I also have experience in fields such as social sciences and academia.

I hold two Bachelor's degrees: a B.S. in Electronics and Communications Engineering and a B.F.A. in Music, which contribute special degrees of expertise in those areas of translation. Nevertheless, the majority of my work has been for corporate environments, and more often than not has dealt with documents of a highly confidential nature. 

Please note that I only translate into American English, that I operate under a trade name, and that I recently moved from California to Finland.
