In 1990 I finished my translation studies at the Fachbereich für Angewandte Sprachwissenschaften in Germersheim, Germany, as a translator for English, German and Spanish. After several years as a freelance translator I joined a major US investment bank as an inhouse translator in April 1994, working exclusively with English and German. In April 2009--after 15 years of service--I left the bank and decided to again set myself up as a freelance translator. |
