How can I help you?

Services

My job is to make your communication as effortless and clear as possible. I provide refined all-round service to enable flawless understanding - and go well beyond just interpreting between different languages.

About me

My vast expertise spanning a large variety of areas enables me to react quickly, adapt to almost every situation and therefore contribute to the success of your event. One of the unique advantages I can offer my clients is that I grew up bilingual (Mother tongues: German & Korean) and have a deep understanding of both cultures. I offer full mastery of English as additional working language.

I am also a member of these internationally recognized professional associations:
