CV
Presentation :
I am a freelance translator that translates mainly from Finnish and English into Swedish, but also from Danish and Norwegian and occasionally from German (I have studied German for 6 years) into Swedish.
I have a Master's degree in International Marketing and have worked in both the travel-, fashion- and IT and Telecommunications business. At the present I am studying M. Sc International Business in London.
I am a fast but careful translator, and put special attention in translating the text so that it is cross-cultural adapted.
