Bio
I am an English/German, German/English translator based in Cape Coral, Florida, USA. My specializations include general/conversational, business, and medical/pharmaceutical translations; 
I can offer translation of business documents, such as marketing texts, brochures, communications, newsletters, web content or presentation materials.
In the medical field I have experience in translating medical reports, medical/pharmaceutical market research interviews and respective templates, as well as practice form tha need to be filled in by patients. I received a Medical Transcriptionist Certificate from Fayetteville Technical Community College, attending their online Career Step Medical Transcription Program, and I am confident in the usage of medical terminology.

Not only am I a native speaker of German, since I grew up in Germany and had the opportunity to collect professional experience in the area of banking/finance, non-profit, and retail accounting.
My English language skills can also be considered native, which I have proven by successfully obtaining my GED, graduating from an American college certification program and several professional online classes. Please refer to my resume for further information. 
I feel that I have found my professional niche in the translation industry. I wouldn't want to do anything else, as I love my work.
 My home office equipment includes a laptop with a high speed internet connection, all-in-one printer and Fax. I can work with files created with all main MS Office programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher and complex PDF. 
To make myself available at all times I also work with an Ipad and Iphone. 
For each freelance project I undertake, I guarantee high quality work delivered on deadline. 
As an accomplished professional I am aware how important attention to detail, responsiveness, communication skills, and reliability are, and I take these trades very serious. 
Throughout my career, I have consistently met and exceeded all organizational goals and targets. 
I am a creative, down-to-earth, people oriented individual, driven to seek growth, and perform beyond expectations. 
 Flexibility and the absolute will to succeed, paired with the ability to think outside the box are only a view of the trades that made me successful as a freelance translator and small business owner.
