Sonja Vilei

Sonja Vilei – Translator

I generally love books and have translated several books from English to German in the areas of nutrition/health, life sciences and sports.

Overview

I have profound experience as translator (English to German), as well as proofreader and copy editor. My areas of expertise include: nutrition, health/medical, food, agriculture and outdoor sports (climbing and similar).

You can find a list of the books I have translated on my homepage.

My professional expertise is also based on my academic background: I hold a BSc in nutrition and food business, a MSc in Rural Development, Food Marketing and Co-operative Organisation and an PhD in agricultural economics.

As a typical German I take deadlines absolutely seriously – and being half Italian I absolutely enjoy life during the rest of my life (those moments where the next deadline is not close yet).
