I was raised by a French mother and a German father in Frankfurt (Germany). At the age of 19, I decided to move to Spain to study translation and interpretation at university. During my studies, I worked several years for a Spanish lawyer specialized in criminal law as a secretary and translator. There I learned a lot about the functioning of the Spanish legal system and terminology.
After completion of my studies in Spain, I moved back to Germany to start an internship of six months in a German translation agency. There I was able to develop my skills as a translator and I learned how to work with Trados. After this period, I moved back to Spain and started to work as an autonomous translator and interpreter for a local translation agency. Gradually I was able to expand my customer base and actually, I am offering translation services to clients in the USA, France, Spain, England, Germany and Russia. For these clients I had the opportunity to work for companies such as Fossil, Johnson & Johnson, UPS, Custom House, Accor Hotels etc. and I even translated a substantial part of the German website of Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts and the video game Star Trek Online!
For me it is important to learn something new on each day and I guarantee on-schedule completion and the highest possible level of quality. For this purpose, I work with Trados and Wordfast and I have an ample selection of general and specialized dictionaries and technical literature.
In my spare time, I like jogging, playing the piano and agility training with my German shepherd.
