Background:
Native language: German
Second language: U.S. English (since 1986)
Austrian-born; U.S. resident since 1993
Education:
Master of Arts degree, Bowling Green State University, 1992 (USA)

Professional Experience:
12 years of translating and teaching experience and 21 years of living in the United States have helped me perfect my language skills. I also "reconnected" with my native language when I lived and worked, exclusively as a translator, in Salzburg, Austria, from July 2008 - May 2009. Today, I keep in touch with my native culture by teaching German at the University of Toledo (part-time) and by using the internet, watching German and Austrian TV programs and incorporating them into my courses at the University of Toledo.
I collaborate with other translation experts and native speakers of German and English.
