German Technical Marketing Translator

I am a native German speaker and I qualified as a technical translator for the languages
English and Spanish at the Hochschule-Magdeburg-Stendal (FH) in 2001, after a four year university degree course. I have been trading full-time as Triple Text Translations since 2007. During my time at university I also gained experience of in-house translations, one-to-one language tutoring and liaison interpreting at exhibitions, conferences and trade fairs. I have been living in Scotland since 2001 and use English as my habitual language. I have a professional attitude with good interpersonal skills, a strong commitment to quality and working to demanding deadlines.
