Bio
I grew up with two languages, french and german, and I learned english at a very young age while living in an english speaking country.
I studied in Switzerland (in german at the Zurich University), in France (in french, with the CNED) and in England (in english, at Schiller International University).
I obtained a linguistics diploma and an MBA with a specialization in Tourism and Hotel Management.
Already during my studies I worked as a language teacher (french & german) and did various small translation jobs.
After graduation I spent several years working in the hotel industry in Asia. Later I worked in the field of development aid (NGOs and other donors) in various countries around the world. I had, during all my professional career, the opportunity to interpret and translate for my employers on a nearly daily basis.
When I returned to live in Europe, I finally entered the french public school system as a language teacher (this requires a translation exam).
I live in Africa now and I work as a freelance translator locally and worldwide.
