40 years experience in translation, both in-house, free-lance, and coordinator

Starting as interpreter and translator during the balkan war, while studying German language in Zagreb, I moved 1995 to Austria, where I live ever since. I am Croatian and German native with profund knowledge of English language. In the meanwhile I was working in big international companies like European Telecom International, a company of Telefonica, and DHL. Since 2012 I am self-employed and work as translator and writer.

I was born in the beautiful Tauber valley on April 13th, 1983, and moved to Germersheim in 2002, where I studied Translation at FTSK Germersheim, the department for Applied Linguistics and Cultural Studies of the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. Towards the end of my studies, I accepted an internship with IBM Germany in Frankfurt/Main in the winter term 2009, where I did translations for the „European Consolidating Project“ from April to September 2009 on site as well as from home. Already during this internship and afterwards I have been working as a freelance translator and established my business in January 2010 in Germersheim, where I still live now.

From September 2010 to September 2011, I also worked as a customer care agent with Ricambi Weiss, a motorcycle pieces and accessories reseller who has customer all over Europe, whereas I was on the hand responsible for all French-speaking customers mainly located in France, Belgium and Switzerland as well as for Spanish-speaking customers. I kept up with my freelance translations during that time, though, as translating has been my passion since I started to study and always have taken a great interest in foreign languages and cultures.

This passion also led me to doing a one-month internship with the “Mémorial de Caen“ in Normandy in 2004 as well as to spending 6 months in Salamanca, Spain, within the frame of the Erasmus program. Apart from my work, I use also my spare time to get into touch with other cultures that you can find galore even in a small place like Germersheim, but I also enjoy, whenever possible, traveling to learn more about other people and their way of living.

I have graduated with full marks in Translation Studies for Information Technologies at Heidelberg University in 2018, with a thesis on the translation of a German website in English. During my bachelor I participated to Erasmus+ program, going to London Metropolitan University for two semesters. In 2017 I have done an internship in a German LSP, where I provided technical translations from English to German and vice-versa. While in London, I have partly translated London Metropolitan University website to German.

Editor and translator for EN/DE, trained at a business school in Vienna/Austria. Founder and director of Building Bridges Translations (2021). Since 2004 I participated in numerous projects translating and editing complete websites and handbooks for the technical and electronical industry, but also hotel prose. I translated and edited subtitles for several movies and documenteries. Three years I worked as fulltime Siri Data Analyst and Software Tester at Apple European HQ in Cork/Ireland, where I took part in tasks for testing and improving localization and speech recognition coding tools for the Austrian, German, and Swiss market.

Working internationally for 7 years has provided me with a well rounded and complex understanding of the English language and its multiple dialects. I have gained extensive experience in the tourism and service sector which means translation plays a key role in all my work.
