My education focused on language aquisition up to fluency, majoring in German and Chinese at Georgetown University. I concluded my course of studies with a M.A. in German Literature from Georgetown University where I taught introductory German to university students.

I have significant German-to-English translation experience for a law firm where I gained exposure to a wide variety of German source text documents: courtroom transcripts, preliminary proceedings, discovery process reports, financial statements, news media, academic and think-tank publications (20,000+ words) on social science-related specializations.

I spent two years in Taipei, Taiwan studying Mandarin and China studies full-time on the Georgetown University East Asian Studies and a grant from the Taiwan Ministry of Education. After my academic sojourn in Taipei, I worked for two years in Shanghai in the security and consulting industry for a leading global company. I have a high-capacity to work with Chinese language texts and conducting business in an all-Chinese office environment.

I describe myself as having attained "multiple-literacies" in German and Chinese.

I will be enrolling in Rutgers-Newark University School of Law in New Jersey and remain highly interested in language-related endeavors as a reliable, part-time translator.
