What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to leverage my multilingual skills and contribute to impactful projects in translation and localization.

I am a certified Nordic language translator with over 8 years of experience specializing in legal, medical, and technical translations. My fluency in all five major Nordic languages—Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Finnish—combined with native-level English proficiency, allows me to deliver precise and culturally nuanced translations. I have successfully translated over 3 million words across 250+ large-scale projects for prestigious clients, including top-tier law firms and pharmaceutical companies.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to excellence and client satisfaction, achieving a 98% satisfaction rate in my current role as a Senior Nordic Language Translator at GlobalLingo Nordic Partners. I lead a team of junior translators, ensuring quality and consistency through the development of customized glossaries and style guides. My expertise in advanced CAT tools, such as SDL Trados and memoQ, enhances my ability to maintain terminology consistency and deliver high-quality translations efficiently.
