About me
Translating is wonderful work and my absolute dream job! I love to put myself in other people’s linguistic and philosophical shoes and to search for the missing pieces of the German idiomatic puzzle. Each time I manage to crack a particularly hard linguistic nut, I am filled with a feeling of real joy. I am, indeed, truly a translation nerd!
In my translation work, I concentrate mainly on the beautiful things in life, the so-called soft topics – content which speaks to the senses, makes daily life more beautiful and conjures a smile on the lips, such as food, furnishings & lifestyle, fashion & design, and children’s and youth literature. If I’m not translating, I like to do pottery, cook and go hiking.

Résumé
I hold a Master’s degree in the study of Scandinavian (with Danish as the main language), German and Education; gained publishing experience with Coppenrath Verlag in Münster and Könemann Verlag in Cologne; and I have been working since the end of 2002 as a freelance translator in Cologne. I translate literary and specialist texts from Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and English for various publishers, translation bureaux and commercial clients.
