about me.

Having grown up bilingually with German and English, I have always had an affinity for languages and am still fascinated by their uniqueness and the nuances that cannot be bridged by a dictionary alone.

I have a master’s degree in translation for German, English and French from the University of Vienna and have been working as a freelance translator since 2017.

I am reliable, quick to learn and easily adapt to my client’s needs. Are you looking for high-quality translations that will help you connect to your target audience? Get in touch to find out what I can do for you!

What my clients have said about my work...

"A translation should read as well as - if not better than - the original document. This is exactly what Katherine achieves. Not only does she deliver excellent work punctually, she also remains in contact throughout the project, asks if she is unsure and makes constructive comments. A true professional!"

... a very reliable translator!

Katherine was an invaluable asset for our team. She worked independently but was also assertive in asking for guidance. I appreciate her effective communication with me throughout the process and also the inclusion of cultural notes regarding certain phrases and words used in the interviews.

Katherine is nice to work with, always on top of her deadlines, she is also very responsive for urgent and last minute requests. This is a professional I’ve enjoyed working with!

I’ve been working with Katherine for the past six months and it’s been a real pleasure! She first came to my rescue when I needed an urgent translation and we’ve been working together ever since. She has now become an integral part of my team, not only as a translator and proofreader, but also lending a hand with project management. She is reliable and has a positive can-do attitude. Being bilingual, she is also a precious resource when it comes to getting the wording right in both German and English.

Translations are like ninjas - the only time you notice them is when they're not good.
