Why did I become a translator?

I grew up bilingual with German and French and wanted to take advantage of this.

What motivates me and drives me in my profession?

I love dealing with texts, researching, facing new challenges and dealing intensively with a topic. I also love my independence as a translator. That is the beauty of translating.

I prefer to translate legal or technical texts. However, I also enjoy translating general language texts.
