Since then, I've been working as a free-lance translator with focus on English translations in Nuremberg, Germany, and have further specialised in medical and pharmaceutical translations as well as the translation of contracts/agreements or software.

I am a member of the German association of interpreters and translators - Bundesverband der Dolmetscher und Übersetzer e. V. (BDÜ) - in the Bavarian section.

I've gained professional experience and linguistic knowledge in various further trainings in creative writing, psychology and medical translation (German/English) and still use every opportunity to expand my medical and translation knowledge.

Since I've always loved writing, I already published some articles on sports-related (particularly basketball and alpine skiing) or health-care related topics (heart and sports, anxiety disorders and phobias, etc) in local newspapers while I was at university.

But life's not only working and recreational phases are as necessary for the best translation performance as concentration on work. I've learned that sports and music complement a brainworker job best. For sports, I finally learned to love jogging and hiking in addition to skiing in winter. And for music, I play the piano and sing in a gospel choir in Nuremberg which is called George and his lost sheep where I write the lyrics for our choirmaster's own compositions - which brings me back to language and translation.
