Background

I am a university-educated and professionally experienced multilingual translator and interpreter for English, Spanish, and German with a specialization in politics, marketing, economics, and international affairs. In the course of my studies and career, I have gained extensive work experience and intercultural knowledge living in Spain, England, the USA, and Germany. After working as an in-house translator for embassies in Washington, DC, and Berlin (Germany), I founded my own business to pursue my career as a freelance translator and interpreter. My clients have included the streaming service Netflix, the U.S. Department of State, the Hanns-Seidel Foundation in Washington, DC, the Friedrich-Ebert Foundation, Indiana University, the Peruvian Embassy in Berlin (Germany), the Austrian Embassy (Washington, DC), the University of Leipzig (Germany), and others.

Much to the chagrin of many dedicated and excellent interpreters and translators around the world, the translator profession is not protected in the same way as most other professions. As a result, many individuals that do not possess the necessary qualifications nor expertise may work as translators and/or interpreters, since clients often don't check/notice the difference in quality in a foreign language. Poor translations on your website will result in damage to your reputation as a business, individual or organization. Just think how you would feel if you saw a website of a business that was poorly written and contained a plethora of grammatical mistakes.

Good translations require research, thoroughness, and dedication. Translators should only translate into their native language(s) in order to ensure optimal results. My translation and interpreting services are based on thorough preparation, research, terminology work, and attention to detail.
