Dutch/Flemish, Norwegian, Swedish, Czech/Slovak, Italian, Spanish & Polish.

Angeles, CA, Atlanta, GA, and Chicago area at law firms doing interpreting

Completed further coursework in Arabic, Chinese,

I have been working as a
translator (and interpreter) since 1984, when I was employed by a local
subsidiary of a German company to do their in-house translations and other
related work. Subsequently, I have been working as a freelance translator while
studying for my Ph.D. in German and linguistics at Georgetown University,
beginning in 1987. I have worked for many translation agencies around the country,
e.g., in New York and Washington, D.C., and federal (U.S. government) agencies,
such as the State and Justice Departments, the National Institutes of Health,
and the Johns Hopkins University's POP-line, where in 1989, I wrote abstracts
of population and birth control articles from the entire European domain of
languages. Also worked for international institutions, such as the IMF.
Moreover, I have done major input and exploratory work, especially in the
languages of Russian and Hungarian for Globalink, which was the largest
machine-translation company in the mid-nineties.

I (personally) can provide translations into English from
Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, and Dutch, as well as French,
Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Czech, Slovak, and Russian. The majority
of these languages I can sight-read and translate orally in a fluent manner.
Spoken foreign language fluency: Mainly Danish and Swedish, but also Norwegian,
German & French.

I have a large collection of
tapes, CDs, DVDs, books, and other instructional material, and a substantial
library of dictionaries and foreign language reference materials, including
electronic dictionaries and glossaries, although much of this is becoming
obsolete with all the current online resources.
