Translating means building bridges from one language to another – this is my first profession. Today I apply my language skills when I translate seminar programmes or at conventions in the field of mediation such as the International Summer School on Business Mediation in Admont a very special bi-annual event bringing together mediators from all over the world. My preferred working languages are English and German (doing consecutive as well as simultaneous translations). I also speak Dutch, French, Spanish, and Italian.
