I deliver precise German, Spanish, and Farsi into English translation services, supported by literacy in French, Latin, and Arabic. My expertise spans legal, financial, medical, energy/environmental, patent, marketing, and social science sectors. With over a decade of professional experience, I provide accurate linguistic solutions for complex documents ranging from technical manuals and business contracts to pharmaceutical texts and academic publications. My advanced degrees in Philosophy and Psychology inform my nuanced approach to terminology and context across specialized disciplines. I have collaborated on major reference works, including translating entries for the Encyclopedia of Religion, and possess strong technical proficiency with industry-standard CAT tools. Whether handling sensitive legal briefs or intricate marketing materials, I ensure every project reflects both linguistic fluency and subject-matter authority.
With a PhD and ten years of experience, I specialize in translating complex technical and professional content from German, Spanish, French, and Farsi into English.

I prioritize terminological consistency and clarity to deliver ready-to-use English that faithfully reflects the nuances of the source material, whether adapting a patent application or analyzing financial data.
