After completing a BA which included a major in legal theory I learned German at the Goethe Institute in Germany. As a reporter/editor I then learned the basics of writing in clear, understandable text. Simultaneously, I acquired a broad general knowledge of technical, legal, environmental and business issues.

For several years I worked as a Bonn-based foreign correspondent , reporting for US business publications on business, engineering and energy issues. Later I edited energy production and market newsletters in the UK, travelling frequently to the German-speaking countries for interviews and conferences.

From 1983-90 I worked on an Israeli kibbutz in agriculture and biotech. Then I wrote for - and edited - several Israeli-based business and high-tech journals, focusing especially on IT and Telecom. In 2000 I changed professions, exploiting the added value of 30 years of accumulated know-how and editing experience.
