Bio
I am convinced that Mark Twain is right and that's why I try to find the perfect expression for all of my translations.

Academic Degree
Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish: First Class Honours Degree from the University of Paderborn, Germany, in 2010
MA in Translation (with commendation) from Queen's University in Belfast, October 2012, financed by a scholarship from the university

Professional Experience
I have worked for many years in administration, accounting and a publishing company, until I decided to achieve a higher level of professionalism and accomplish an academic degree in languages and translation.

Experience abroad
I have been working and living in the UK since 2005. I worked for the University of Ulster in administration and for another educational institution, teaching English to Speakers of other languages and translating marketing material.

Project management
At the German Police University I was responsible for complete EU-related projects, i.e. application, funding, organization and calculation, accounting and settlement.

Diploma in Horticulture/Gardening
I am an expert in Gardening, Horticulture, Plants and Botany. Thus, I can translate all kind of projects relating to the gardening business, horticulture and botany.

At the present time
I am working as a freelance-translator and I give courses as a teacher for "German as a Foreign Language".

I would be glad to hear from you!
