Background:
Native language: German
Second language: U.S. English (since 1986)
Austrian-born; U.S. resident since 1993
Education:
Master of Arts degree, Mass Communication, Bowling Green State University, 1992 (USA)
1st Diploma Certificate, Political Science and Mass Communication (comparable to Bachelor of Arts degree), Salzburg University, 1986 (Austria)
Professional Experience:
14 years as a translator and university instructor and 19 years as a resident of the United States have helped me perfect my language skills. I also "reconnected" with my native language and home country Austria when I lived and worked, exclusively as a translator, in Salzburg, from July 2008 - May 2009. Today, I keep up with cultural developments in Germany and Austria by watching German and Austrian TV programs on the internet, and I incorporate the information into my courses at the University of Toledo.
I collaborate with other translation experts and native speakers of German and English.
