Presentation:

I am a native Swedish speaker and have been living in Germany since 2001. After working as a police officer in Sweden for 14 years, I acquired my advanced language and technical skills through studies at the University of Hildesheim in Germany. BA – International Communication and Translation MA – Language and Engineering Since 2007, I have been working as a specialized freelance translator and interpreter. I have always been fascinated by electrical engineering, machinery, and inventions and already from the beginning I specialized in technology and patent texts. Therefore, a solid understanding of technical processes and contexts, combined with applied translation science, forms the foundation of my capability of understanding source texts correctly and creating translations formulated for the agreed purpose. My interest in technology, the desire to understand complex interrelationships and learn new things, combined with years of experience in dealing with various regulations such as EU directives, norms, and standards are skills that is necessary for high-quality translations.
