Portrait

I was born in 1982 and grew up in the canton of Aargau and later in Zurich. After graduating from high school, I lived in Australia for a total of four years. I returned to Switzerland at the end of 2007, where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in English and History at the University of Bern. I then began my studies in Applied Linguistics at the ZHAW Winterthur, receiving my Master of Arts in Professional Translation in 2015. Since then, I have been working as a freelance translator and editor.

My favourite way to lose track of time is by reading a good book – be it fiction, fantasy, science fiction or crime. Culture is just as important to me. I love going to concerts, like catching a film at the cinema and enjoy going to museums to see exciting exhibitions. I find a sporty balance to my working life through jogging, swimming or bouldering. I can also switch off well in nature. I enjoy gardening, going for bike rides or taking hikes. And I live out my creative side, for example, by supporting the decoration team at the Winterthurer Musikfestwochen.
