As a translator, I have worked for large German and Swiss banks either directly or via large translation companies in Frankfurt and Switzerland.

As an interpreter, I have worked at numerous conferences, AGMs, board and other business meetings and have covered various subjects within and beyond the realm of finance and business.

In 1991, I took up a degree course at Heidelberg University in translation and interpreting with economics as a minor. In addition, I attended language programmes in France and spent six months at Geneva University. I earned an interpreting diploma from Heidelberg University in the spring of 1998.
