I enjoy working in a wide variety of fields and have recently translated several books, numerous websites, user manuals and technical materials on topics ranging from consumer electronics, energy generation and logistics to computer games. My experience of over 30 years has given me solid grounding in diverse areas of specialty and I'm always looking forward to the next challenge.

Work History:
I started as a freelance translator for clients in the entertainment industry before becoming a staff translator at the New York office of a German magazine publisher. During my long-term employment there, I acquired valuable insights into the business of media and marketing. I have been a full-time freelancer since 2003, both as a translator and editor for scientific and literary publications. My most recent book translations were in the areas of design thinking, esoteric teachings, marketing, history and tunnel driving/geotechnical engineering.
