What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hybrid roles utilizing translation, editing, and AI training skills in multilingual, research-driven environments with clear deadlines and collaborative teams.

I am a multilingual freelance translator, editor, and AI trainer based in Berlin with a PhD in Law and 16+ years of professional experience across translation, editing, journalism, and academic research.

My work spans legal, technical, medical, and commercial domains, including MTPE and AI training for Google Bard and Amazon machine translation modules, plus translations of ECHR decisions, EU environment legislation, contracts, and jurisprudence.

I combine academic discourse analysis and legal semantics with journalistic rigour and editorial precision to deliver accurate, culturally nuanced translations and to develop effective AI prompts and responses under tight deadlines.
