David Roncancio

State-certified and generally sworn translator for Spanish

I was born in Germany. My family and I migrated to Colombia after I was born, where I then spent my childhood between Colombia and Germany. Since my mother spoke German to us and my father spoke Spanish, I learned both languages as mother tongues.

In Colombia I attended the German school and did the Colombian high school exam. After my studies as a psychologist and educator, I did further training as a German as a foreign language teacher and worked for several years at the Goethe Institute and at several German schools in Colombia. I did also translate and interpret into Spanish, German and English for teams visiting Colombia.

In 2008 I was certified as a life and executive coach and started my own coaching company.

In 2011 we went to China to set up the German section of an American school and also to teach in German, Spanish and English.

I have been living in Germany again since 2017, where I work part-time as a lecturer and educational assistant at the district adult education center (VHS). I also work as an authorized translator and intercultural Life & Executive Coach.
