Main languages English and French, working knowledge of Italian.

Native German, 9 years in London, now in Vienna, Austria.
I have been working for more than a decade for several market research agencies (written/simultaneous translations of reports, questionnaires, interviews, group discussions, background material), also for companies in the automotive, consumer goods, and pharmaceutical industries. Flexible, fast, and quality conscious.
Prices depend on type and difficulty of work + volume.
