It was a pleasure working with you Katherine. I appreciated your rapid response to my requests. The German and English versions of all the documents were perfectly formatted down to the tiny letters on the bottom of the pre-printed baptismal certificate which identified the printer. Thank you.
“Your webinars have been of great help and have lifted my confidence level beyond all expectations…Thank you again for this opportunity to go “beyond the borders”, opening up a world to me that I had truly thought would remain closed without extensive training and education. I am truly grateful.”
“Awesome. Engaging. Funny. Smart. Best speaker of the day.”
My German in-laws would not say one word about the past, however when they both passed away, we found two huge boxes of letters, journals, and pictures that documented every day of WWII for them. We also found 100 years of old family documents to prove they were Aryan in accordance with the Nuremburg Laws.

Great job. You have unlocked a mystery. The relationship between Ignatz and Mathaus was unclear until now. Thanks.
“Presentation cohesive, concise and constructive. As well as comedic to keep interest.”
She has ample knowledge of the German and English languages and a very good command of technical terminology and a great feel for language. She is very reliable and can also translate very large volumes of words and still meet her deadlines. Without any reservation, I am glad to highly recommend Katherine for any German into English and English into German project.
