Languages have fascinated me since I was a child. A foreign word was a puzzle piece which wanted to fall in place. What language was it? Where would I find the country on the map? What culture did it imply? In the before-the-Internet days research happened with books and newspapers, so I started to fill my book shelves and became well-informed about the world. My mind turned global and I knew I could not go back to just my own language and country. The decision was an easy one: I would study languages and use them professionally. Since each language comes with its specific culture, I made sure to familiarize with both by living and studying in foreign countries, in my case the USA and Italy.
I learned my profession at the Würzburger Dolmetscherschule and at West Chester State University (Pennsylvania, USA). During my employment at Siemens in Nuremberg I was additionally trained as a technical writer and assigned to the Boston subsidiary where I worked in the tech writing department. My expertise in generating documentation in different languages or to translate and optimize what already existed soon became a passion and I decided to dive into self-employment. My business was successful from the start and I have long since become a trusted partner of many well-known and globally acting corporations.
