Background

I was born and educated in Denmark. Day-to-day and during my education, I received significant exposure to both English and German and was awarded high marks for both at High School exams. Formally trained as an Electronics Technician, I spent 10 years working in that capacity in Denmark. In 1985 I migrated to Australia and have spent around 20 years working with Bang & Olufsen, Panasonic and Olympus in a variety of technical and management roles, including:

• Service management, electronics & photo
• Operations management, electronics FMCG
• Technical management, electronics & photo
• Technical Officer, electronics (providing tech support, training & documentation)
• Warehouse / Distribution / Logistics management, electronics FMCG
• Spare Parts management, electronics & photo
• Staff management
• Call centre management
• Quality Assurance management

I find that my skill set is now very well suited for translation work due to:
• my technical background
• my language skills
• my 10 year Danish work experience
• my 20 year versatile Australian work experience
• my accuracy and attention to detail
