Every language is a world. Without translation, we would inhabit parishes bordering on silence.

My Name is Kimberly Oves Weiss 

I recieved a Translation and Interpreting degree from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. I specialized in sworn translation and in translation of literary works. I attended literary lectures at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. These included Literature and Literary Figures, Linguistic analysis of translated stories into Spanish, Terminology, Linguistics, Translation of short stories from Leonhar Thoma (Der Hundetraum).

For my last year of studies I decided to go to the University of Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany). I attended some more specialized literary lectures like Intercultural Literature between Germany and Inmigrants, Film and Fiction in the American West, Thomas Mann "Short Stories", American Language and Media and a Master course in Drawing-room Plays 1890s to 1930s.

I have been working freelance as a sworn translator and interpreter for more than a year now, in the languages Spanish, German and English. During this period I have been able to develop my skills even more than since my University.
