CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

The confidentiality of your information is very important. I will therefore treat all the information you submit within the framework of our cooperation as confidential, regardless of whether such information is designated as “Confidential”.

PRACTICE

Between 1999 and 2011, I translated English texts and documents of contemporary history for a historical biography. This material also included a small number of documents - principally correspondence - which I translated from Spanish and French into German.

In my work as a cultural manager at the Theaterhaus Berlin Mitte, I have translated project applications to the EU and to foundations, dossiers and documents, exposés and correspondences into English.
