About Me

I translate German texts into English texts and I proofread and correct English texts written either by non-native English speakers or that were automatically machine-generated or machine-translated. My native language is English and my second language is German.

I am a Swiss citizen.

At a young age I became very interested in radio communications and electronics, and I became an amateur radio operator. After school graduation, I studied electronics and electrical engineering and received a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master's degree in Operations Management.

I worked briefly as an electronic engineer in Germany. I then studied business administration, economics, and management (Betriebs- und Volkswirtschaftslehre) at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz.  After six semesters of study, research, writing, and verbally defending my doctoral thesis, I received a Doctor's degree (PhD) in Economics (Dr.rer.pol., Doktor der Staatswissenschaften / Wirtschaftswissenschaften).

After this, I received an employment offer from a company in Switzerland and moved there. Most of my working experience in Switzerland has been in the following areas:

• German-to-English translator and a proofreader/corrector of English texts;
• Lecturer (Dozent) with business and technical schools, and with universities of applied sciences;
• Trainer for project management basic courses (given in German and English)
• Trainer to help project managers prepare for the PMP (Project Management Professional) examination from PMI (Project Management Institute);
• Independent Coach for project management with technical companies;
• Project manager and contract manager for technical companies and organizations.
