Karen L.

I have a Master's Degree in English Linguistics and a Bachelor's Degree in English Language and Literature from Top 5 Universities in China. At present, I am doing a PhD in English Linguistics in Germany. As a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese, I‘m also proficient in English. In 2012, I took IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and got 8.0, which is the required level of English for graduate programs in Oxford and Cambridge. I am very familiar with business and financial English. In 2009, I received Cambridge Business English Certificate (Higher) with merit. Applying linguistic models and theories into translation practices is my passion.I passed the China Accreditation Test for Translators and Interpreters in 2010 and by now have years of experience in English-Chinese and Chinese-English translation. The positive feedback from my previous customers encourages me to stay in the field and keep providing quality translation to a wider group who deserve only the best! I am flexible in time and am willing to work against tight deadlines while conforming to the three basic rules of translation, namely "faithfulness, expressiveness, and elegance"! If you are looking for someone who is devoted to excellence, efficiency and punctuality, don't hesitate to contact me. I am very looking forward to working with you!
