About Me

Having finished my study at Sanata Dharma Teachers Training and Education Institute, Faculty of Art and Literature –- Yogyakarta, with a BA degree in 1973, I began teaching English at a Teacher Education School (a vocational school preparing students to be elementary school teachers) in Weetebula – East Lesser Islands in 1974. In 1988, I taught English at Santa Maria Senior High School – Yogyakarta and at Bopkri III Senior High School - Yogyakarta from 1988 to 1991. Since 1991, I taught English at Samaria Junior High School and Senior High School in West Jakarta. From 1993 to 2007 I was an English teacher at Abdi Siswa Junior High School in West Jakarta as a full timer. During that time I also taught English for private students, beside teaching at an English Course in Grogol – West Jakarta.a My teaching at schools ended in 2007 when I stopped from Abdi Siswa Junior High School in West Jakarta.

I started doing translation work in 1988. First I translated for friends who needed their studying materials translated into Indonesian. Then I began translating long materials on various fields. For some years I translated books from “Kanisius Printing and Publishing”, some of which are as follows :
