I am registered as a certified and sworn translator in the Database of Translators and Interpreters of the German State Justice, in the German Association of Interpreters and Translators Database, on the website of the Embassy of The Republic of Indonesia in Berlin as well as on the website of the Consulate General of The Republic of Indonesia in Frankfurt.

​

I started my BA studies in 2010 with a major in Indo-European Studies and a minor in Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Frankfurt. With a BA thesis on the Malay Influence on Thai, I graduated in 2013 and then continued my studies with an MA in Comparative Linguistics at the University of Frankfurt. In 2017, I handed in my MA thesis on the Surabaya dialect of East Javanese. I carried on with Linguistics in a doctorate program at the University of Newcastle in Australia. In 2022, I published my PhD thesis on complex predicates in Australian and Oceanic languages.

​

I have been working as a language teacher for German, French, and Thai in various countries since 2005 and as a linguistics tutor since 2012. In 2022, I became a certified translator for Indonesian and Malay in Germany and have been publicly appointed and sworn in by the Higher Regional Court in Dresden. I am an interpreter and language mediator for English at the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF, similar to UNHCR) in Germany.
