As a native German with a Bachelor's degree in Political & Administrative Sciences from a German university and a Master's degree in Translation Studies from the University of Portsmouth, UK, I have been working as a professional freelance translator for more than 15 years. Besides work, I am a comic book enthusiast, a passionate hobby astronomer, genealogist and historian, and a gamer (PS, PC, Android). And, of course, I love to travel.
I am particularly interested in working on big projects with more than 10,000 words and I usually translate 60,000 to 70,000 words/month.
