I was born and raised in Vienna, Austria, where I enjoyed a (multiple) language-focused education. My international background as well as my passion for language, culture and the worldviews they embody, have positioned me well for my many years as a language and culture consultant, teacher, editor and translator. I hold a B.A. in German and an M.A. in Cross-Cultural Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California.

I have worked as a freelance editor, translator and German and English teacher for fourteen years. I am especially experienced in editing M.A. and Ph.D. level academic papers and assisting in academic research and writing. I have collaborated on a number of research projects for universities, non-profit organizations and academic institutes. My fields of expertise include literature, sociology, anthropology, theology, pedagogy, spirituality, philosophy and music.
