Why Work With Me?

With over four decades of experience across diverse industries in both Germany and New Zealand, I bring a unique blend of precision, adaptability, and insight to every project. My journey has taken me from working as a dental technician and in electronics manufacturing to IT and bookkeeping - all of which honed my attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and commitment to excellence.

As a professional proofreader and editor, I combine my technical expertise with a passion for crafting flawless documents that help my clients succeed. This breadth of experience means I deeply understand how businesses operate across various sectors, allowing me to tailor my solutions to meet your specific needs.

My German roots instilled in me a no-nonsense approach to getting things done right the first time, while my New Zealand lifestyle adds a layer of calm and resourcefulness. This combination means you can rely on me to be both efficient and approachable - someone who not only delivers results but also makes the process smooth and stress-free.
​
Clients often describe me as accurate, trustworthy, and a great collaborator. 
I thrive on tackling the "fiddly details" that others might overlook, ensuring your work is polished, professional, and aligned with your goals.

My Experience

​Beyond Business
When I’m not working with words or solving business problems, I’m in my garden - hand-weeding, collecting seeds, planting and harvesting veggies. It’s my happy place where I find calm and inspiration.
