About

As a certified English and German to Romanian linguist with a university background in languages, literature, and cultural studies, I help e-commerce brands and tech companies in English and German-speaking countries adapt their content for Romanian customers, increasing conversions through culturally accurate localization, consistent brand voice and culturally adapted tone.
Due to my experience in translation, content marketing and publishing, I understand the importance of accurate and culturally aware communication and am passionate about providing well-researched content and cultural insights. I live close to the Danube in the beautiful Swabian Mountains, where I enjoy taking (reading) walks.
