In 1987 I finished my studies of English philology at the Ludwig-Maximilian-University (LMU) in Munich. My studies included a one year stay in GB and Norway.

After having been retrained as a computer specialist, I gained diverse professional experience during 6 years at an American company, where English was important for daily communication.

After I had had my second child in 1996, I stopped working as an employee. In 1997 I started my own office for English training and translation. Since then I have been working as an independent English teacher for adults (night school, privat courses, courses for companies), and as a translator of texts from various fields such as computer technology, timber construction, law and so on.
