English to German Translator, Proofreader, and Editor | 20+ Years of Expertise |
With over 25 years of experience, my career in editorial translation began as a side project while working for a U.S.-based consulting firm. During this time, I contributed to adapting care management concepts for the German healthcare system. It became evident that external translations often lacked the necessary linguistic and cultural adaptation, requiring someone with an understanding of both the subject matter and client objectives. As a bilingual native German with extensive knowledge of the German healthcare system, I was the ideal candidate for this task. This side project eventually evolved into my full-time profession.
Since 2013 I have specialized in translating books (fiction and non-fiction), scientific and legal texts, and e-commerce websites (B2B, B2C), manuals (consumer goods, IT, heavy duty technical machinery, automotive), ensuring that translations are not only accurate but also preserve the author’s tone, style, and intent, regardless of the complexity of the content.
Translation Approach: While I understand that AI language models can offer speed and cost efficiency, I believe that high-quality translations require the human touch. My focus is on delivering translations that are both linguistically accurate and culturally appropriate, easy to read, capturing nuanced meanings and maintaining the original voice and emotional depth.
Editing and Proofreading: My services also include editing and proofreading. I identify errors, refine vocabulary, and suggest improved word choices to enhance the text. Whether working with your AI-generated drafts or providing fully manual translations, I ensure every document reads smoothly and reflects the precision intended by the original author.
Why Work With Me:
• Professional Expertise: Over two decades of experience in translation.
• Proven Success: Extensive experience translating fiction and non-fiction books. I can send you a link to my credited works.
• Client-Focused: Committed to meeting deadlines and exceeding client expectations.
• Specialized Knowledge: A background in medical, process/software design, marketing and management enables me to bring technical and business expertise to specialized texts.
Languages and Specializations:
• English to German translations.
• Expertise in book translations, fiction & non-fiction
• E-commerce localizations, specializing in product and service descriptions for the German market.
• Industries: medical / health, IT (software, SaaS, networks), finance, legal, hospitality, consumer products, etc.
While I recognize the growing role of AI in translation, my focus remains on the essential human elements—accuracy, tone, and cultural relevance—that AI cannot fully replicate. Whether you need assistance with AI-generated content or require a fully manual translation, I am here to provide the expertise necessary to elevate your work.
Feel free to reach out for more information. I look forward to collaborating with you.

Hello! I am a young and aspiring writer who has been writing poetry, reviews for literature and other forms of media, web articles, web content, and other various forms since I was just a sophomore in high school. I took a break from Upwork for other career endeavors but I am active again now as a full time freelancer.
I enjoy all types of writing, and I am open to any project available; whether it is proofreading, or writing an article for a specific product, or novel. I have two poetry publications: a short poem in 2006, a Teen Ink magazine issue, and I was published in a national anthology for amateur poets for Eber and Wein Publications, in 2011. I am a new graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts with an emphasis on English through Cal State University Long Beach. I currently am a professional writer/editor/content creator for a financing company. I create their advertisements, write and edit their social media campaigns, and I also write and publish their articled and blogs for their website. I am SEO friendly, and I am currently managing multiple websites for them and their partnered companies, so I also am familiar with web editing and design.
I have also tutored students in writing, helping them improve essays and grammar skills along my own journey through college. I am very proficient in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. As I continue my journey in creating pieces to inspire and change the world, help students succeed, my goal is to help companies succeed by writing any articles for specific products, write poetry that eases the heart and mind in this chaotic place we call the world, review content of any kind, so clients have a good word for their products, and help everyone grow along side me. It is important for me to consistently empower the world through the power of the written word through courage, magic, and brain!
