About Me

Born in Germany into a bilingual household with German and Spanish as my first and second mother tongues respectively, I learned at a very early age to appreciate languages not only as a tool for communication, but more importantly, as a unique chance to create a bridge between different peoples and cultures. Hence, I began to study Translation and Interpreting at the University of Turku in Finland in 2003, which provided me with a strong and solid background of oral communication and writing skills in German, Spanish, English, Finnish and French.

Once I obtained my university degrees in Translation & Conference Interpreting (M.A.) as well as in Baltic Sea Regions Studies (M.A.), I gained extensive experience as a freelance language expert working for the European institutions, international companies, Finnish authorities and as a localization expert for a number of different game developers amongst others.

Thanks to my experiences abroad and my background in linguistics and regional studies, I have an understanding of different cultural values around the world and how these impact the transmission of verbal and written texts from the source language and culture into the respective target language and culture
