Bio
I'm a life-long freelancer with an entrepreneurial spirit and over a decade of experience as a German–English translator, educator, and allround language guy.

Born in New York and raised in Germany, I bring a cross-cultural perspective to my work. My translation specialties are creative text and educational content, but I'm also well-versed in technical work for the automotive and manufacturing industries.

Alongside my work in the editorial field, I teach English as a foreign language at vocational colleges and universities of applied sciences in the Berlin and Saxony regions of Germany. As a language instructor, I'm constantly looking for new ways to engage students with a mix of proven methods, wild experiments, modern technology, and an infectious fascination for language.

In the early days of my career, I worked as a budding freelance journalist for news organizations such as Germany's international public broadcaster Deutsche Welle, the English pages at Spiegel Online International, NPR's WWNO New Orleans, and The Local in Berlin.

Given my native bilingual background and professional expertise, I can offer tailored solutions to a broad range of challenges in global business communications. I manage a close-knit network of language professionals offering bilingual text production, native translation services, and English language training for your employees or students.
