What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a home-office mini-job where I can contribute my organizational skills, care, and native German proficiency.

Since 2015, I’ve worked as a freelance translator and text editor for international translation agencies, publishers, and private clients. I translate from English, Greek, and Italian into German, and since 2017 I’ve also worked on literary translations.

I review and edit German texts according to client briefs and formatting requirements, and organize assignments and client communication independently from my home office.

My other work has included German-language customer service for the N26 project at Webhelp and for blau through expertcloud. I’ve also worked as a language trainer since 2004, planning individual and group lessons and preparing learning materials.
