I am from New Zealand and I have been living back there with my family since the end of 2011. English is my mother tongue and I speak and write fluent German.

I've been working as an ESOL teacher for more than 16 years, plus I am a very experienced proofreader. I also worked part-time as a proofreader for Ernst and Young in Zurich (see my CV for further details) and as a proofreader/translator for the former Bank Wegelin (now known as Notenstein) in St. Gallen until I went back to NZ.

I have been working as a freelance GER-EN translator and proofreader for Supertext AG in Zurich since the beginning of 2010, and I started doing freelance GER-ENG translation work for Euroscript Switzerland last month.

I have an MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Auckland University in New Zealand (completed in 2008). I gained my Graduate Diploma in Education from Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia in 1995. Finally, I completed a Certificate in Advanced Studies (Specialised Translation) from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences in Winterthur, Switzerland in October 2010.

Should you require any references, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best wishes,
