Bio

I am a translator of the Scandinavian languages (DA, NO, SV) into English and German into English. I have experience working on business documents (HR, policy documents, contracts, etc.); however, I am a versatile translator and can work comfortably in many different fields. I have experience with major CAT tools such as Trados and Phrase.

I have an MSc in Translation Studies from the University of Edinburgh, and took part in the NCW and BCLT Literary Translation Summer School with my costs fully covered by the Danish Arts Foundation. I studied Scandinavian Languages at university in Edinburgh and spent time at the University of Copenhagen studying Danish.
