I also take on projects in other subject areas as long as I feel comfortable with the terminology used in that particular domain and am confident that I can deliver a good translation.

--> Why you should work with me

I commit 100% to the projects I get involved with and take the necessary time to provide idiomatic translations of high quality while always respecting the agreed deadline. With excellent writing skills, an eye for detail and an inherent love for languages, I enjoy my work and make an effort to find just the right words for the context the translation will be used in.

Moreover, I have good research and information seeking skills and aim to continuously develop my skills and knowledge in different subject areas. I use a range of tools to increase productivity and ensure quality and consistency in my translations, and terminology work and corpus-based translation are areas of special interest to me.

Apart from translating everything from your marketing material and reports to websites, software and documentation, I also offer to proofread and edit your Danish texts whether they are translated or original material.

--> Academical background and work experience

MA in Translation and Interpretation from Aarhus School of Business (Spanish, Danish) with courses in financial, legal and technical translation

MA courses in financial translation (English, Danish), terminology work and corpus use from Copenhagen Business School

BA in International Business Communication from Aarhus School of Business (English, Spanish, Danish) with special focus on Marketing and Intercultural Communication.

Previously, I have spent longer periods abroad studying languages at recognized language schools and doing voluntary work in both England, Scotland and Costa Rica. In 2006 I moved to Spain, where I started my career as a freelance translator while working part-time as an English teacher in a private academy. After two years in Spain I moved back to Denmark to continue my studies, and now I am based in England where I work as a full-time freelance translator and language consultant.
