Statement: I have lived in England since 1992. I am a German native speaker. I became British in 2017. At present, I am working as a telephone interpreter for an international translation company. In addition, I have had experience in medical interpreting at various hospitals in Essex (England). I have written German-English teaching resources for an educational publisher. This has involved translation practice. I have sucessfully completed a teacher training in Modern Foreign Languages at the University of Sunderland in 1992 and I have worked for many years in this field. I worked in recruitment and research in Germany. I obtained my master's degree in Psychology at the University of Heidelberg in 1990.
