Nice to meet you
I'm a state-certified translator and interpreter for English and German, based in Nuremberg, Germany. I grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and have called Germany home since 2017 — which means I bring a genuine understanding of both languages and cultures to everything I do.
My journey into language services started long before my formal training. I came to Germany on a Fulbright scholarship, working as an English language assistant at two Nuremberg secondary schools. That experience deepened my love of language and cross-cultural communication and set me on the path to where I am today.
I hold a state certification in translation and interpreting for English and German with a specialization in legal language from the Institut für Fremdsprachen und Auslandskunde (IFA) in Erlangen, as well as a degree in German Studies and Psychology from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.
As an immigrant myself, I know first-hand how intimidating German bureaucracy can be. Whether it's navigating official documents, attending appointments, or understanding legal paperwork, I'm here to help — not just with my professional expertise, but with the lived experience of someone who has been through it too.
I work with individuals and businesses alike — whether you're navigating a personal situation or need a reliable language partner for your organization. I'm always happy to have a conversation before you commit to anything, so please feel free to reach out.
Say hello
