About me


● As a native speaker of German, born in 1981 and raised in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most western province, it was only natural that I was fascinated by all the dialects and foreign languages surrounding me. My passion for languages has always been strong, and I believe it will be my one and only everlasting love.

● I hold a diploma in International Secretarial Administration in English, French and Spanish + International Correspondence (German: Europasekretär/in)

+ Certificate: English for Business - Second Level (Pass with Distinction)
London Chamber of Commerce and Industry
+ Certificate: Spoken English for Industry and Commerce - Second Level (Pass)
London Chamber of Commerce and Industry
+ TOEFL = Test Of English as a Foreign Language in 2002, computer-based (240/300)
+ Certificat de français professionnel, 1er degré
La Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Paris

● I have worked for Europe's leading wallpaper company, whose headquarters are located in Germany, and at a translation agency following my studies. There, my principal tasks included translating diplomas, reports, certificates and other documents (mainly from French into German)


● Deluxe Digital Studios and their worldwide subsidiaries are major clients I enjoy working with. I assist them in translating, proofreading and checking quality of subtitles from English and French into German.

● I further recommend working with Translations Chamber UK and Lingo24. Thank you very much!

● About myself: I am always eager to learn about new technologies and become acquainted with new subjects easily.
