Born and educated in Germany, I came to Ireland in 2000 and immediately succumbed to its charms. So much so that I decided to make it my future home there and then. Inish Translations is the product of the life I lead in picturesque Donegal. My background is varied – I trained and worked as a dental nurse but languages are my true calling. After studying English and German literature, languages and politics at the University of Hamburg, I taught German to young asylum seekers for several years, working in areas that further fuelled my interest in travel and cultural exchange. As a freelance translator, I have the freedom to choose work closely aligned with my own philosophies and beliefs, taking projects I feel passionate about.
