About

I’m a German-speaking copywriter and SEO content professional with four years of experience freelancing and in agencies, creating and adapting English and German content for international companies. I enjoy turning complex B2B and technical topics into clear, conversion-focused website copy, landing pages, job ads, and multilingual content that’s built for search and real readers.

I also bring hands-on localisation and CMS experience, including publishing and optimizing content in WordPress with multilingual setups (WPML/Polylang). With AI-assisted research, evaluation, fact-checking, and content refinement in my workflow, I can move quickly from keyword research and search intent analysis to polished deliverables while keeping tone, accuracy, and brand consistency tight across every market.
