When I retired from the stage, it seemed to be a handy way to make some pocket money. Little did I know at the time that I was launching a second career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your areas of specialization?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m currently employed as an in-house translator for an equine sector company, which means working with horse feeds, supplements, equine health, tack, stable construction, etc. My other specialties are classical music and tourism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you like about ATA? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a friendly and welcoming association. As a <em>Quereinsteigerin<\/em>, it was ATA that inspired me to become a professional translator. Without the opportunity and benefits of ATA certification, I probably would have not had the confidence to develop my skills in the way that I did.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your position on the GLD Leadership Council. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There used to be a multipurpose position called \u201cNew Member and Proofreading Pool Coordinator\u201d \u2013 this now has been split into two separate positions. I make myself available to new members of the German Language Division to answer any questions they may have, and help keep them informed about what the GLD offers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anything else you would like to share? (hobbies, interests, etc.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Local history! I love that a forest near us contains grave mounds from the Neolithic era, that the track of an ancient Roman road lies just a few miles away, and that Goethe traveled past our area on his way to Italy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name: Kristina Cosumano LC position: New Member Coordinator Where are you originally from?
