My translation experience includes texts in the fields of journalism, psychology, biology, medical research, criminology, theater, and music, along with several cookbooks. To see an example of my translation from English to German, you may view the companion guide to the documentary Exodus to Berlin by Peter Laufer.

My transcriptions of old German handwriting include numerous personal letters, postcards, and diaries, from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, of emigrants, refugees, and soldiers, as well as correspondence of famous composers, performance artists, and scholars. I also transcribe and translate marriage and birth entries from church records and registry offices for genealogy purposes. An example of my work, a handwritten nineteenth-century cookbook, can be viewed at Grandmother Dahms Recipes.

Another example is shown below. It is a photograph of a German family and their friends enjoying a boat excursion on the Elbe. A letter is written on the back in old German handwriting.
