Bio
I have been a professional translator of Swedish to English for over 20 years. A native speaker of English, I learned Swedish by living, working and studying in Stockholm for 14 years.

I learned the craft of translation and honed my knowledge of Swedish culture and society while working as an in-house translator at two of the most highly regarded translation companies in Sweden, and as an interpreter working as an independent contractor.

For the past 11 years I have been independently providing top-notch translation service to clients in Sweden, Canada, Europe and the U.S. I work in a wide range of fields, specializing in construction, insurance and contracts. Terminological accuracy and idiomatic rendering of the original are my guiding principles, diligence and sensitivity to client needs my watchwords.
