About me
I am a freelance translator and travel journalist. My mother tongue is Finnish, but I also speak fluent Spanish and English. I have also studied Catalan, French, Italian, German, Estonian, Latin and Swedish. I am a B.A. graduate of Spanish and Finnish philology (University of Helsinki and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) and my fields of expertise include tourism, marketing and gaming.

I have been doing translations, editing and proofreading from Spanish and English into Finnish for different types of clients and agencies for almost four years now. My work includes online gaming and casino, marketing, architecture, design and fashion magazines, instruction manuals, product specifications, technical and health care, installation guides, travel guides and catalogues, IT and software localization, queries, contracts, web pages, press releases, interviews, poems and song lyrics, etc.

I am also a published author and a freelance journalist and writer. My published works include a travel guide "Mondo Matkaopas Barcelona", published by Imagekustannus Oy, Finland, a complete overview about the history, culture, architecture, traditions, restaurants, hotels etc. of Barcelona and Catalonia. I've also written various articles on Spanish and Catalan history, tourism and cultural phenomenon for several magazines in Finland and for the European Union web release "Europa".

My other work experience gives me knowledge about the vocabulary used in the university and service fields, as well as the legal and psychological sectors. I have worked as a help desk operator and information agent in a labour union office, a secretary in a Finnish telephone company and as a personal research assistant in the University of Helsinki, Faculty of Psychology.

I believe that my multi-cultural background, language and writing skills and vast experience in tourism and cultural environments is a valuable resource. I consider myself a positive, enthusiastic, creative and hard-working person. I enjoy being trusted responsibilities and solving problems as well as developing new solutions when needed.
