I have studied foreign language for a decade, receiving a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics and German from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.For over three years I have worked as a volunteer German to English translator. I have an excellent feel for language in general, and in addition to German I am familiar with French, Latin, and Mandarin. This is in addition to my writing skills, which I have fostered throughout my academic career. Throughout my academic and professional career I have used my writing, translation, and computer skills to make a real difference for the organizations I have worked for. I have over three years of experience translating primarily news articles from German to English, and I have a B.A. in Linguistics and German.
