What I'm looking for

I seek freelance or in-house roles offering specialist translation, localization and transcreation for institutional or corporate clients, flexible remote work, and opportunities to manage projects and ensure high-quality linguistic output.

I am a certified freelance translator with extensive experience translating specialist texts for major Swiss banks, healthcare insurers, federal institutions and travel companies since 2008.

I hold C2 proficiency in German and English, C1 in Spanish and B2 in French, and I provide translation, revision, transcreation, subtitling and post-editing services.

Previously, I worked in export and sales management (2002–2007) where I coordinated international sales networks, negotiated licensing contracts and managed international payments.

I combine linguistic expertise with commercial experience, strong organisational and intercultural skills, and a track record of meeting tight deadlines for high-profile institutional and corporate clients.
