I am a native german speaker from Austria. I started learning English when I was four years old, so I grew up virtually bilingual. 

Besides studying law, I have gathered experience in professional translating (english-german) for about ten years by now.

As a freelancer, I am translating many contents on various fields, including guidances, websites, financial and legal material, software, etc. I am working as a translator, proofreader and language coordinator for agencies and private customers. 

Rapid and accurate handling are a matter of course, as well as excellent german spelling and grammar skills. 

Since I completed several years of law studies (major field: business law), I am very familiar with the specific language and technical terms of legal and business material.
