I am a native of Nürnberg, Germany and have lived in Oregon since 1992. I earned a degree as Commercial Correspondent and Translator for English in Germany. I have taught and tutored many children in both languages, including my own daughter, who - at the age of 8 - is now fluent in German. I am very proud of my heritage and recognize the importance of Germans in the history of this country, and therefore will take great pride and joy in passing on my knowledge to others, opening new doors for them.
