Bio

I am a native (Swiss) German freelance translator, originally trained in Business Administration. I have spent 15 years in various places around the world, working in the tourism industry as a Scuba Diving Instructor and Tour Guide and, ultimately I was running my own business. 
As a business owner, teacher and guide, proficient language skills and precise communication were indispensable and whenever the student’s study materials were not available in their language, I translated them verbally or in writing. Over the years, my linguistic aptitudes have been naturally further developed and since 2018 I am also applying those language abilities in freelance translation.
To enhance my expertise as well as to acquire more translation specific knowledge, I completed the DELE and the TOEFL language exams, attended webinars, trained on different CAT tools and completed a course in post-editing.
