I am from New Zealand and I have been living back there with my family since the end of 2011. English is my mother tongue and I speak and write fluent German.
I've been working as an ESOL teacher for more than 16 years, plus I am a very experienced proofreader. I also worked part-time as a proofreader for Ernst and Young in Zurich (see my CV for further details) and as a proofreader/translator for the former Bank Wegelin (now known as Notenstein) in St. Gallen until I went back to NZ.
I have been working as a freelance GER-EN translator and proofreader for Supertext AG in Zurich since the beginning of 2010, and I started doing freelance GER-ENG translation work for Euroscript Switzerland last month.
I have an MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Auckland University in New Zealand (completed in 2008). I gained my Graduate Diploma in Education from Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia in 1995. Finally, I completed a Certificate in Advanced Studies (Specialised Translation) from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences in Winterthur, Switzerland in October 2010.
