About me
I have been translating on a freelance basis since 2003. My main interests are my academic subjects of Business, Economics and Political Science. As you can see from my attached CV I have attended University both in England and Germany.

During and after my studies I have gathered some work experience in business consultancy and finance in the United Kingdom.

I specialise in commercial documents, business contracts, financial reports and so forth.

Beyond my academic subjects and working experience, I take a strong interest in technology and computing (Web design, Windows and Linux), and am able to competently localise software, software manuals, and web pages.

I can confidently translate into either direction (EN-BR>DE, DE>EN-BR). I am more than happy to provide samples upon request.
