I have been a self-employed virtual assistant since 2019. I work remotely for clients, mostly start-ups or sole entrepreneurs, on an hourly basis or for a flat rate per month. 

As a self-confessed bookworm (you rarely meet me without a book), I am passionate about words and writing, copywriting and editing. My passion for both classical and modern literature (my current literary companions are Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Frank Schätzing and Ocean Vuong) results in impeccable writing and a good feeling for the German language. No double spacing or misplaced comma goes unnoticed with me.

For the film nerd in me, I dedicate myself to transcription and subtitling, mainly transcribing Swiss German video but also audio content into High German text. 

Since I'm also a bit obsessed with structure, efficiency (unavoidable as a digital semi-nomad) and therefore with David Allen ("Getting Things Done"), I like to bring order into the office, be it in accounting, in back office or in optimising standard operating procedures (SOP).

Do you generate a lot of texts in the course of your work that you would like to have proofread or optimised because your spelling is not perfect or you want someone else to read it over? Or do you need meaningful and convincing content for your website?

I proofread your articles, newsletter articles, e-books, books, blogposts, social media posts, website content, etc. I track them all down, the spelling mistakes. No double spacing or misplaced comma goes unnoticed with me.

Transcription (CH>DE)

Are you working in research or producing a documentary movie, a podcast or a video tutorial?

Then you probably know that a good transcription of your audio and video material is indispensable, but at the same time incredibly time-consuming.  

I transcribe your audio and video files quickly, meticulously and flawlessly. You will see how much time you save by no longer having to spend hours stoically typing audios when your podcast suddenly transcribes itself, your interviews are transcribed in no time at all and your explainer video gets subtitles quickly and easily. Transcriptions in Swiss dialect and dialect are my speciality.

My offer includes the simple, semantic transcription as well as the extended transcription according to Gehling & Pehl 2018. Individual arrangements are possible as well.
