About me
Bio:

Born and raised in Germany, I moved to Canada in the year 2000. In 2005, I earned a Bachelor of Fine Art Degree with a double major in French Studies and Studio Arts from Concordia University in Montreal.

After a year of living in Berlin in 2006, I moved on to Glasgow, Scotland, where I graduated in 2009 with a Master of Fine Art degree from the Glasgow School of Art. After spending the last year in Montreal, I currently live in Guelph, Ontario.

Living and working in Germany, Canada and Scotland has allowed me to gain intimate knowledge of the cultural specificities and differences between these countries as well as between Continental Europe, North America and the United Kingdom in general. Having lived in Quebec for over seven years, the home to North America's only francophone majority, I am also fluent in French and have a deep familiarity with the lingustic policies and cultural differences within Canada.

With an academic background mainly in the theory and practice of art, I specialize in texts dealing with art, culture, travel, tourism and politics. Having worked as an in-house translator for a Montreal-based company in 2009, I am, however, also comfortable with articles and press releases that deal with topics such as economy, finance, ecology, IT and mining.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions. I would be happy to provide a test translation.
