My name is Sandra Stoller. I am both German and Italian, lived in Norway and went to French school. After I studied Political Sciences in Rome, I moved for one year to Brussels, where I worked as an intern for Amnesty International and the EU Commission. In 2000 I returned to Germany and now live in Munich, which used to be the crossroad of the ancient salt and the wine road and a meeting place for different cultures.

I work for itl (Institut für Technische Literatur) since nine years now. We used to be 6 project managers in the translation department and are now about 35. What I like about itl is it’s international culture: my colleaugues come from 15 different countries and you can often hear Russian, Italian, Chinese or Spanish besides German and Bavarian in our offices. My role at itl is to contact translators who could become become key translators for our clients’ projects and help them getting on with the first projects.
Please feel free to contact me at any time if you want some more information about itl.

I am very glad to come to Newcastle, looking forward to seeing some of our main translators attenting the conference and meeting new translators personally. I want to thank the team organising the Conference for the interesting programme and their great support.
