After coming to U.S.A. and doing a number of things, I started working as a per diem court interpreter, (July 1992), in the Nassau County first district court in Hempstead, Long Island.
In time, the occupation that I started as a part time job improved through good service and referrals and became a business. Started working with the Federal Courts in 1994, translated a lot of documents, transcribed and then translated a lot of tapes when I first started. (Recently they turned to CD's.) Today, I am working in all New York and New Jersey State and Federal courts as a per diem interpreter. Also doing written translations, editing, tape transcriptions, simultaneous seminar and deposition interpreting, medical interpreting and medical translations.
I also work as an escort interpreter. I work for private law offices, translation agencies and Government agencies as a freelance independent contractor.
Accomplished accredited German translator, certified court interpreter, experienced government contractor, and certified teacher with broad international experience. Able to spearhead, coordinate, and manage language projects and a variety of public international events, coordinating publicity event arrangements and management. Multilingual communicator who has worked on the highest protocol levels of diplomatic government and business communities. An educator with a passion for children's causes; decisive and energetic with a strong motivational and team-building approach.
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.
I work as a conference interpreter in the US since 1995 in all possible subjects. I work for the Federal Court System and have lot of experience interpreting patent litigations in the US and overseas. Travelling does not pose a problem. I work into and out of English, French, German and Dutch.
Being Slovene and having studied Slavic Studies and American Studies in Berlin, Germany (B.A., at Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin), I am fluent in written and spoken English, German, Slovene, and Bosnian/ Croatian/ Serbian (former "Serbocroatian"). In addition, I am able to translate and interpret from and into the above listed languages (with Slovene and English as best target languages), can proofread texts written in Slovene, teach English (as a foreign language), and am familiar with the histories and cultures of the USA, Germany, Middle Europe, and of the Balkans (I also lived in all of these areas for extended periods of time).
I am born and raised in Holland (Dutch), lived in Lausanne, Switzerland (French), lived in Munic, Germany (German), and live since 13 years in Florida USA. I am very interested in a new career opportunity as linguist/interpreter. I do not have experience as an interpreter but have very strong communication skills in the above mentioned languages. My background is Business Development in Commercial Real-Estate and Private Equity with a broad range of national and international clients. I am interested in a career change and look forward to interpreter opportunities with personal interaction as well as other interpreting disciplines.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet one of your project managers to discuss the services I can offer Link-Translations.
I do speak fluent German,Russian,Uzbek and English is basic. I do have a strong educational background and work experience related to my education. If you need an experienced translator, I am the right person for you, I am a fast learner and will bring positive results for the company I will work for.
I am an American brought up by native Hungarians. I am fluent in Hungarian, having also lived in Budapest for several years. My entire extended family continues to live there, so my ties to Hungary are very strong. I am also fluent in German, having lived in Germany for years growing up as a child. I am very comfortable in both cultures and I understand Europeans' customs very well. I taught German in public high schools for 13 years. Currently I am a freelance translator, writer and editor. My language skills are excellent.
During the past twenty years as a translator, interpreter, proofreader and voice over specialist,I have worked on many different projects. Therefore I have experience in a variety of fields. I am available on short notice.
