@nathanswartzendruber
I publish, edit, and optimize clear digital content across multilingual websites, campaigns, and data-driven communications.
What I'm looking for
At Balluff, I publish product, blog, industry, and company content across websites in the Americas, coordinating translation proofreading for the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. I edit machine-translated German and English content for technical accuracy, clarity, and readability across web and print materials.
I led migration of priority WordPress blog content into Balluff's main CMS by exporting posts and traffic analytics, prioritizing high-performing content, and relaunching pages with internal stakeholders.
Previously at Leica Biosystems, I created customer accounts in SAP, audited information across SAP, Salesforce, and internal databases, and standardized communications and tracking processes. At TriHealth, I turned patient-safety data into reports, visualizations, and written communications for leaders and unit managers.
My work is a conversation: I write for audiences using plain language, active listening, research, and empathy. I also bring experience building websites, teaching technology and writing, creating email and print campaigns, and supporting strategic planning.
