Independent language consultant · EN · DE · ES
I provide translation, localization, editing, and interpreting for technical, healthcare, commercial, and field assignments. With native Spanish and professional English and German, I help teams keep meaning, context, and communication clear.
01 / The challenge
A technical document, a product page, and a live conversation each call for a different kind of language support. The assignment starts with its audience, purpose, and context.
Make the meaning clear in writing, across cultures, and in conversation.
