ABOUT ME
I live in Bristol (UK) and my specialisms are:
- International Law & Human Rights
- Environmental & Social Justice Issues/Legislation
- EU Policies
- Agroecology
- Permaculture
My languages are German, English and Spanish.
I am an associate member of the UK-based Institute of Translation and Interpreting and a fully qualified member of the German Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators (BDÜ). Managing large translation projects from start to finish is something I am as familiar with as using translation tools and building/managing terminology databases.
My experience working as a freelance translator is complemented by skills in the fields of renewable energy, human rights, agroecology, sustainable development and systems design. These were gained through a number of theoretical and practical courses as well as hands-on community involvement, working and facilitating at Shift Bristol, and a one-year in-house translation position with Amnesty International. On a personal level, I believe that there is no other way forward than building resilient systems and designing real low-impact solutions, and I integrate those values into my work.
