Marion Lemari, M.A., is an English<>German freelance translator and community interpreter located near the Killeen-Temple-Ft. Hood metropolitan area in Central Texas. While many of her translation clients work and live in other states, such as California, New York, and Florida, Marion uses her consecutive interpreting skills in healthcare facilities in the metropolitan area to facilitate patient-doctor communication.
Marion has extensive translation experience. She started to translate for military families in Germany long before she decided to become a full-time translator in 2013 and an interpreter in 2018. Marion has translated business documents and training materials, such as online training courses, code of conduct documents, safety information and reports, technical documents, and reference letters. While she also accepts personal documents such as birth certificates, wedding speeches, and report cards, her main focus is now on medical translations, fiction, and non-fiction. Marion tutors students of all grade levels in foreign language education (German) and English essay writing.
Marion has a Master's Degree in Translation and Interpreting from the Center for Translation Studies at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communication, with an emphasis in Communication and Technology and the equivalent of an associate of applied science degree in business administration with an emphasis in real estate from Germany.

Marion loves books, audiobooks, art, and indie movies with a strong (or not so strong) female lead, such as short stories by Judith Hermann and Alice Munro or movies with Jessica Williams and/or Noël Wells. One of her favorite books of all time is Early Work by Andrew Martin and a collection of stories and essays about translation called Crossing Borders, edited by Lynne Sharon Schwartz. Her favorite painters include Henriette Wyeth and Steven Assael. Marion also enjoys podcasts and German TV productions. She gardens and spends time outdoors whenever she can.
