Translation is my passion. What I like to achieve when I translate is the perfect illusion in both of my working languages. I think of translation as a form of art, a creation of an 'in-between', a text that shows elements of either one or even both worlds. To me, the act of translating is a highly creative and intellectual activity that requires finding solutions for problems related to non-equivalence between languages and cultures.
As an English <> German translator with an MA in Translation and Interpreting from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, I can apply my knowledge and skills and produce results that fit my client's needs. With many years of work experience, I have developed the professional skills to find solutions to translation-related problems and challenges. I frequently review medical reports, I translate works of literature for fun and offer language services with a caring-for-the-community character, such as foreign language tutoring and teaching and consecutive (community) interpreting in healthcare settings. |
