Language specialist with expertise in translation and linguistics.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated language specialist with a Master's degree in Linguistics from Goethe University Frankfurt. My academic journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of phonology, syntax, and semantics, which I apply in my professional work. I graduated with honors and focused my thesis on the acquisition of grammatical gender in German, showcasing my commitment to exploring the intricacies of language.
In my current role at Übersetzungsbüro Kennedy Translations GmbH, I translate and edit texts between German and English, ensuring high-quality outputs through meticulous quality assurance checks. My experience also includes teaching German to English-speaking students at Speakeasy Sprachschule, where I developed tailored lesson plans and adapted my teaching methods to meet diverse learning needs. I thrive in environments that challenge my analytical skills and allow me to communicate effectively with clients and students alike.
