I’m a native German speaker helping brands, authors, and content creators turn English or AI-generated content into natural, fluent, and human-sounding German. I specialize in localization and proofreading, which means I don’t just translate words, I adapt tone, style, and flow so the text feels as if it was originally written in German. Many texts are technically correct but still sound stiff, unnatural, or “translated.” That’s where I come in. What I can help you with: • English → German localization • Proofreading & editing of German texts • Humanizing AI-generated or machine-translated content • Tone & style adaptation for German audiences • Improving readability, flow, and consistency Types of content I work with: • Books (fiction & non-fiction) • Websites & landing pages • Social media & short-form content • Newsletters & blog articles • Educational and family-friendly content Why work with me: • Native-level German with strong English skills • Excellent feeling for tone, nuance, and natural phrasing • Detail-oriented and reliable • Clear communication and on-time delivery Tools: Smartcat, Phrase, MemoQ (basic) If you’re looking for German content that sounds authentic, polished, and truly human, I’d love to work with you.

Hello! I'm a professional writer, transcriber and English to Dutch/Dutch to English translator, proofreader and editor. While Dutch is my native language, I started speaking/writing in English at a young age. Storytelling has always been one of my biggest interests. I like to draw people in with my stories and create a setting for them to explore a new world, concept or product. Academic writing is something I learned while doing Mediastudies at University and I can do this in both English and Dutch. I'm excited to build up my portfolio and learn more from the stories I get to write.

Welcome! I have been among the top 3% on Upwork for years due to offering clients high-quality, timely work. I provide editing and proofreading services, with expert knowledge of APA 7 style. If needed, I am also up to date with MLA and Chicago-style referencing. From polishing a thesis for submission to writing a personal statement from a few notes, I enjoy helping others along their path to success. I look forward to helping YOU achieve your goal! *Note: Most of my workweek hours are no longer on Upwork this past year, so accolades, such as the Top Rated Plus badge, may start to soon expire. **Note: The "Portfolio" uploads are older pieces in order to ensure client confidentiality and, ultimately, they are slightly lower quality. My hope in including them is that, alongside many 5-star client reviews, they can help give a clearer idea of the honest service you will receive, providing added confidence in your hiring decision!
