I would like to offer my services as a reliable human translator, proofreader and edtor. I also do post editing of machine translations. I am an English native speaker who has been living in Germany since Sept. 2004. From March 2005 until July 2019 I taught English to adult learners at large companies in Germany (e.g. Bosch, LUK, Heel, Maquet).
I started translating in early 2011. I translate from German, Dutch and Flemish into English. I have done work in every imaginable direction, including medical and pharmaceutical, veterinary, history, travel, business and consulting, IT, engineering/technical/aviation, finance and Forex, social sciences, botany, fiction (both for adult readers and children) – almost everything. I have also translated or proofread many academic theses.
I recently finished translating a book by a famous bodybuilder, Tony Pearson, who started competing in the 1980s.
From November 2022 until the end of March 2023, I translated a series of space adventure novels – six volumes in all, totalling between 70,000 and 90,000 words each.
In late 2022, I also translated three Bibi Blocksberg books (novels for girls up to age 14), and in September 2022, I translated a 45,000 word book about late motherhood and in October, another one, similar in length, by the same author, about the life-long trauma suffered by her father, who was ripped from his rural village life at the age of 17, and forced to go to war.
In 2020, I translated a book about speaking off the cuff, by award-winning Swiss public speaker, Thomas Skipwith.
I also do a lot of post-editing of machine translations. I recently finished editing a 120-page book on Key Account Management, which was originally written in German and translated with DeepL, and one about setting up your own graphic design business.
These are just a few examples of the hundreds of thousands of words I’ve translated or proofread over the past 14+ years.
If you would like me to do a sample translation or proofreading of your own document, please feel free to send me a brief extract.
I hope to hear from you and assure you of my very best service at all times.
