Having worked as a full-time translator for 15 years, I was able to gather experience in many different special subjects. My favourite has, however, always been medicine. 

​

I worked for a great variety of customers including some renowned Berlin-based clinical centres (research funding, abstracts, posters, clinical trials, etc.), companies in the IT-sector (web pages, marketing), Berlin courts, the criminal investigation department, various artists (painters and musicians mainly, exhibition catalogues, web pages), I subtitled two American sitcoms and last but not least I worked a great deal for private customers who needed certified translations of documents and deeds (birth certificates, marriage certificates, certificates of no impediment, etc.).
