Profile

As a freelance editor, I edit and proofread non-fiction books, academic publications, advertising copy, texts on industry and the economy, catalogues and exhibition texts and many other types of text.

A master’s degree in German and Romance studies combined with a postgraduate master’s degree in theatre studies with a major in film, as well as many years’ experience in the field of cultural administration have given me profound knowledge of the fields of art, culture and publishing.

Furthermore, I have been translating from English and French into German for over ten years, with a focus on the fields of culture, art, design, travel, economics, medicine and politics.

Periods spent abroad as a school pupil and later as a student formed the initial foundation of my foreign language skills, which I constantly refresh. I keep myself up to date by reading relevant literature and I regularly visit exhibitions in Germany and abroad.

I am a member of the Association of Freelance Editors (Verband der freien Lektorinnen und Lektoren - VFLL), the Association of German-Language Translators (Verband der deutschsprachigen Literaturübersetzer - VdÜ) and Women in Publishing (Bücherfrauen).
