Welcome to my profile. I have been working as a professional writer and proofreader for several years. As such, I professionally write and translate texts at publishing level. As a native German speaker, I offer my services for translations into the German language. As I am fluent in English, French and Spanish, I can translate all kinds of texts from these languages into German - and vice versa. Feel free to send me a message and I will dedicate myself completely to your project. I am looking forward to working with you :)

I'm a Translator for German, French and English. German and French are both native languages for me, as I was brought up bilingually and have lived in both countries. My level of English is excellent. I also proofread texts, websites and documents of all kinds, transcribe and occasionally do voiceovers. I specialize in medical texts, as I am also a part-time orthopedic technician. I look forward to working with you.
