    I am currently taking the postgraduate course for an MA in Interpreting at Metropolitan University. This course comprises extensive exercises and training in Public Service Interpreting, Conference Interpreting and Remote Interpreting (telephone and video-conferencing).

    While working as a translator, editor and proofreader for German Language Services, a Translation Company in Seattle, I was exposed to several kinds of terminology, including pharmaceutical and technical translations. However, my field of expertise mainly comprises comprehensive training in the automotive field and a focus on technical translations (e.g. automotive and aviation technology etc), which I have acquired during my studies in Germany.

    Nonetheless, I have a broad field of interest and no difficulties acquiring profound information in new subject areas.



    After having worked in Customer Care for some time now, my communication skills are already well developed, even in tense or difficult situations over the phone, which I consider to be an advantage when it comes to remote interpreting.



    Upon completion of the Master Degree in Interpreting, I will also have the opportunity to have the attended classes, combined with my Diploma in Translation credited in order to additionally receive the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI).
