I am a German native who has been living and working in the US for about 15 years. I speak both languages fluently.
I graduated from the University of Applied Science (Fachhochschule Fulda) with a Bachelors Degree of Business Administration, majoring in Marketing in 1993 and started working for SLMA (Student Marketing Association) after receiving my work permission. I was promoted 3 times in 4 years.

The most important merit of a professional translator in my opinion is to decline a job offer if the job does not fall within his or her expertise. I do this almost once a week. I will provide quality, attention to detail and accuracy. I have never missed a deadline. Not because I work faster than the competition, but I know what I can do, in what time frame without jeopard
