About Vanessa
As a trained interpreter with a background in legal linguistics and multilingual communication, I offer language-related support for international projects and live interpretation in the following languages:
English ↔ German
French → German
My focus lies in consecutive and simultaneous interpreting for business meetings, conferences, and webinars – both remote and on-site – with a strong attention to tone, nuance, and cultural context.
Beyond interpreting, I support companies in tasks such as:
– multilingual client or partner communication
– content adaptation and language QA
– terminology research, subtitling, and language coordination for international teams
I’m especially passionate about roles where language meets strategy: ensuring that messages are not just translated, but truly understood.
