Please allow me to introduce myself to you.

I am 59 years old, a high school graduate (pedagogical high school). I am a Slovenian independent translator (freelancer).

I have been translating for 21 years and am a native Slovenian speaker.

According to the CEFR, my level of proficiency in German is C2. I am self-taught and do not have a diploma, but in 2005 I passed the state exam in German at a higher level at "Cene Štupar - Center for Education" and obtained a certificate no. Z051 / J52 / 804530 issued by the National Examination Center, which I am very proud of, despite the fact that I am self-taught. Over the last 19 years, I have expanded my knowledge through translation and continuous informal further education.

My level of proficiency in English is B2, but I have been learning English at school for 8 years and have been using it both professionally and privately for over 20 years. I can affirm that I communicate in English and translate from English with sovereignty and terminological accuracy.

In addition to my regular job, I started a self-employed firm in 2003. My main activity were translations from German to Slovenian and vice versa (professional and technical translations: main clients Liebherr, Komatsu, Hella / medical text translations: main clients Institute of Bioresonance and Regulatory Medicine Ljubljana, REGUMED Institute of Regulatory Medicine Germany). Years ago, I had to close the firm again for personal reasons. Due to decreasing orders, I lost my job as a sales assistant after the COVID-19 epidemic broke out. After 16 months of unemployment, I decided to take action and re-registered my firm in January 2022. I met my short-term goal of becoming self-employed and re-registering my sole proprietorship. On January 18, 2022 the business was re-registered. Despite the occasional lack of orders, I remain positive and focused on success. I am optimistic and excited about welcoming potential new business partners and clients.

Precision, consistency, and grammatical and terminological relevance are all things I strive towards. This is achieved, among other things, by using of contemporary CAT technologies such as:
