About Me

Bruce Turner, Dr. rer. pol., PhD

My native language is English and my second language is German.

I proofread and correct English texts written either by non-native English speakers or that were automatically machine-generated or machine-translated, plus I translate German texts into English texts. I am a Swiss citizen.

At a young age I became very interested in radio communications and electronics, and I became an amateur radio operator.

After school graduation, I studied electronics and electrical engineering and received a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master's degree in Operations Management.

I worked briefly as an electronic engineer in Germany. I then studied business administration, economics, and management (Betriebs- und Volkswirtschaftslehre) at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz.  After six semesters of study, research, writing, and verbally defending my doctoral thesis, I received a Doctor's degree (PhD) in Economics (Dr.rer.pol., Doktor der Staatswissenschaften / Wirtschaftswissenschaften).

After this, I received an employment offer from a company in Switzerland and moved there. I worked partially as a project manager, contract manager, and business consultant. Since I really enjoyed teaching a lot, I also worked:

• as a course instructor/lecturer with business and technical schools, and with universities of applied sciences in Switzerland;
• as an independent trainer for project management basic courses and to train project managers for preparation for the PMP (Project Management Professional) examination from PMI (Project Management Institute);
• as an independent coach for project management;
• and as a proofreader of English texts and a German-to-English translator.
