What I'm looking for
I am a freelance translator and language teacher with extensive experience translating technical, legal and e-commerce texts, proofreading, and providing interpreting services for notaries, private clients and agencies. I have a background in customer service and administration, including roles with Media Markt, Eurowings and travel agencies using Amadeus.
I teach German (including to aupairs and corporate staff such as ALDI employees) and have worked with airlines and travel agencies (Singapore Airlines, Egencia) after completing Amadeus training and translation studies at SAL in Zürich. I deliver reliable, accurate language services and practical customer-facing support grounded in years of language certification and hands-on experience.
