What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a client-facing role where I can make the most of my language skills and provide support to customers. If the role also involves project management and translation, that would be the perfect fit.

I am a certified freelance translator with extensive experience translating specialist texts for major banks, healthcare and rent insurance companies, federal institutions and private customers of the Swiss market (since 2008).

I hold C2 proficiency in German and English, C1 in Spanish and B2 in French, and I provide translation, revision, transcreation, subtitling and post-editing services.

Previously, I worked as export manager (2002–2007) in a big shoe company where I coordinated international sales networks, negotiated licensing contracts and managed international payments.

I combine linguistic expertise with commercial experience, strong organisational and intercultural skills, and a track record of meeting tight deadlines for high-profile institutional and corporate clients.
