Promoting a healthier and happier world
They say you should do what you love. One of the things I love the most about being a German translator is supporting creative, innovative, and green companies, cultural institutions, or legal and medical professionals.
Working with environmentally and socially conscious brands and professionals to help convey their messages is highly rewarding, and I strive to work with more like-minded clients.
I can help your German audience, clients or patients understand and appreciate your content, trust you, and encourage them to live happier, more productive, and healthier lives, Besides, if you need to translate high-risk confidential documents I can adapt your specialised legal/medical texts correctly into German.
I would love to work with you next!

Personal life
I was born in Cologne, Germany, but I made Las Palmas de Gran Canaria my home in 2003, after studying at ULPGC University.
Living abroad has given me in-depth cultural and market knowledge of Spain, especially the Canary Islands. In November 2022, I returned to Germany to start new personal and professional endeavours.
As a German translator, I specialise in certified translations, marketing, health/wellness, lifestyle, and the cultural/tourism sector.
As a human being, I’m committed to all things eco-friendly, equality/inclusion, and animal rights.
In my spare time, I like to practice yoga and Pilates, spend time in nature, travel, visit historic palaces or castles, and indulge in tasty vegan food.
I love genealogy, vintage fashion, museums, baroque art, period dramas, and reading travel guides or books about health/wellness and psychology. These interests inspire my translations and help me understand and convey the cultural nuances of your content.
