 From 1998 to 2012
 I was co-heading the English-German translations desk for the Christian book publishers Aurora Productions, CH and Activated Desk, UK, all the while working in an English speaking micro-environment. In this position my focus was on translations from the ground up, proofreading and quality control. I was also overseeing and training a group of remote Christian translators and facilitated and proofread their work. The majority of the material was on the topics of religion & spirituality, your personal walk with God and Christian coaching & training.
