I have been working as a German translator for the past 7 years (with two years interpretation experience). Briefly, I will outline some of my qualifications and their relevance. I was born in Germany, where I spent the first 20 years of my life. German, then, is my mother tongue and I am completely fluent in all aspects of the language. In addition, I acquired fluency in English and Hebrew. After moving to Israel, I received a B.A. in Middle Eastern Studies and Political Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel (the language of instruction was Hebrew). The university placed significant emphasis on language skills, and it was there that I acquired working knowledge of French and Arabic.

My name is Mary Jane. I was born, raised, and educated in the USA. After completing my university education, I lived and worked in Israel for more than three decades. I now work as a freelance Hebrew translator, interpreter and language consultant based in Los Angeles. My background includes over 15 years of experience in the Israeli high-tech sector, where I translated different materials from Hebrew into English, including user guides and marketing brochures. In recent years I have also translated, source material for films, children's books in rhyme, personal memoirs, legal, medical, and business material, and various other kinds of documents. For the last four years, I have served as a registered Hebrew court interpreter in legal, medical, and school settings in the Los Angeles area, including court trials, depositions, medical consultations, and IEPs for the LAUSD.
