What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values creativity and innovation in translation.

As a dedicated translator with a focus on technical, artistic, and literary translation, I have honed my skills through diverse projects spanning multiple languages. My experience includes translating technical manuals for Ray Human Capital and academic texts for renowned publishers, showcasing my ability to adapt complex content for various audiences.

My academic background, including a PhD in English Literature from Umeå University, has equipped me with a deep understanding of language nuances and cultural contexts. I have collaborated with esteemed institutions such as KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Umeå University, contributing to significant research in environmental humanities and ecopoetry.

With a passion for bridging language barriers, I strive to deliver high-quality translations that resonate with readers while maintaining the integrity of the original text. I am eager to continue my journey in the translation field, bringing my expertise to new and challenging projects.
