Dream job as a translator

I was born in London and grew up in Kent in the south-east of England. I came to Munich as a young adult and have been living in this beautiful, Bavarian city for many years now. I feel very much at home here, partly because I enjoy working in an environment where tasks are performed efficiently, meticulously and with a passion for detail – characteristics that are considered typically German and which I share.

Since childhood I have been fascinated by languages. It was always a dream of mine to do exactly what I am doing now – translating. I enjoy the mental stimulus and challenges of translating, the variety of texts and the many interesting exchanges with customers – not to mention Munich’s proximity to mountains and lakes.

On my way to becoming a professional translator, I underwent thorough training and acquired the following qualifications:

• Großes deutsches Sprachdiplom (Goethe-Institut)
• Teacher of English as a Foreign Language (TEFL)
• Translator in Economics and Law (Sprachen- und Dolmetscherinstitut)
• Master in English Studies, major subject: Linguistics
