Born in Switzerland, I got a degree in special education from the University of Zurich. I worked in the German as well as in the French part of Switzerland. After arriving in the US, I worked for many years for Berlitz. In addition, I obtained a law degree at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. Recently I am working freelance, teaching and tutoring adults and children in German and French. At this point I am combining my expertise and skills, that is, specializing in translating legal matters.
