Bio
My mother language is German, but because I grew up and spent my life in South Africa I am more proficient in Afrikaans and English than in German.

I completed my school education at the German International School in Cape Town South Africa where I obtained a matriculation certificate in German and English at higher grade, and Afrikaans at lower grade.

Tertiary studies: After a four year study at a technical high school I obtained a technical diploma in Forestry, a further four years of university study led to a B.Sc. Forestry majoring in Forest Science and Nature Conservation, and after another post graduate year I obtained an Honours B.Sc. Forestry majoring in Nature Conservation. The studies were undertaken in both English and Afrikaans.

I was employed by the Government Forestry Department as a professional forester for about 40 years, during which I practised as a forest planner, forest manager and forestry consultant in a wide field of technical and scientific matters. Most of my experience was gained in the management of natural rain forests, as an ecological manager. I have written many letters. reports and memoranda in both English and Afrikaans. My working knowledge and proficiency regarding German is reasonable, but I have not had the experience of expressing myself in German in written reports and documents as I had in the other languages. During my time as forester I have undertaken translations and am therefore quite experienced in doing this.

I am currently a member of the South African Translators Institute (SATI).
