What I'm looking for

I’m seeking long-term freelance translation and localization partnerships, with ongoing projects in translation, editing, proofreading, localization, MTPE, and linguistic QA.

Since 2024, I’ve worked as a freelance English-German Translator & Localization Specialist, translating and adapting content for websites, applications, digital platforms, and marketing materials for German-speaking audiences.

I also edit and proofread translations, perform MTPE and linguistic QA, and maintain translation memories, glossaries, terminology databases, and client style guides. I hold an MA and a BA in Translation Studies from Berlin University of the Arts (UdK), Germany.
