I was raised in a bilingual household (German and English) and resided in Germany for nine years of my childhood. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in German, as well as a Master of Business Administration. For over six years I worked at the German American Chamber of Commerce, where I managed up to eight accounts at a time and translated written and oral communication between German clients and their English-speaking customers on a regular basis. Currently, as the Marketing Communications Manager for an Austrian-based automation technology supplier, I have been able to enhance my writing skills and gain familiarity with technical/engineering terminology.
