I am a graduate translator and studied Chinese, French and English
at the School of Applied Linguistics and Cultural Studies in Germersheim
(Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz).
My minor was IT and I specialized in technical translations.

After graduation I spent eight month in Kunming (PR China),
where I was teaching German at the Yunnan University
and working as freelance translator for a medium-sized German company.
Besides, I took part in an International Training course on Chinese Language
and Cultural Studies and passed the HSK (汉语水平考试 - internationally recognized
Chinese proficiency test).

After that I have been employed at a translation agency in Stuttgart (Germany),
where I was translating various documents as well as coordinating translation projects.

From April 2006 to July 2008 I have been working as Project Manager in an international software and localization
company in Shanghai (PR China).

Since July 2008 I am working as freelance translator for the languages Chinese, English and French, specializing in IT and other technical fields.

In cooperation with qualified Chinese colleagues I also offer translations from English and German into Simplified Chinese.
