Description

Thank you for the opportunity to offer my translation services. I am bilingual in English/Croatian (dual native) and ATA certified for Croatian and German into English. My experience includes 4 years living in Croatia, where, as the translation and interpretation coordinator for the European Community Monitor Mission, my responsibilities included translating a wide variety of general and specialized texts from Croatian into English and vice-versa, consecutive and escort interpreting, managing a 10 member translation team, editing, and proofreading. In addition, I developed and implemented interpreter role-play training scenarios and tested and trained all interpreter and translator candidates for the ECMM’s large roster of freelancers.

I have lived in Germany and studied business and economics (in German) as well as German language at the University of Kiel. As in-house staff for a German-based company for 10 years, I have extensive experience translating general, financial and legal documents, in addition to news articles and technical specifications/operations manuals for industrial heat treating equipment. With an honors degree in Economics and an advanced degree in European Studies, I am uniquely qualified to meet the challenge of providing high quality, context-sensitive translations in today's complex world.
