Über mich

I have been a professional translator for nearly eight years. My specialties include Website translation and Localization, Tourism, Real Estate, Financial Texts, Marketing Material, Training Material, Computers and Peripherals, Consumer Electronics, Telecommunications etc.

My fluent English comes as a result of an extended period of living and studying in the United Kingdom. I have completed my undergraduate and postgraduate degree at Kingston University and University of Surrey respectively. My command of both languages and my diverse work experience makes me familiar with idiomatic and formal usage of the languages.
