Kristina has been working as a freelance
interpreter and translator since December 1998.

Since graduating with a MA in Interpreting
(English, German, Spanish) [Diplom-Dolmetscherin] from the University of
Heidelberg (Germany), she has been working freelance with a special focus on
simultaneous interpreting as well legal and medical topics.

Her experience covers a vast of array of
different subtopics. Within medical she can look back on 16 years of experience
in the medical market research area, which later on expanded to clinical trial
documents, patient information leaflets and some professional articles. Due to
her specialisation in legal texts, contracts of all types, including with study
sites and/or investigators, also form part of her standard work load. Kristina
has successfully interpreted at several pharmaceutical conferences for
participants of clinical trials (clinical trial centres and their researchers).
She also has extensive experience in telephone interpreting for medical market
research purposes for patients and health professionals alike. Added to this is
her extensive track record in conference interpreting, including RSI.

Kristina currently lives and works in
Australia. Prior to this she lived for 12 years in the UK and 6 years in Germany.
Her high school years were spent in Chile. This vast cultural background is an
asset for any interpreting assignment.

Her mother tongue is German which due to
family circumstances is still the only language used at home. English has in
the meantime become her second mother tongue.
