Bio
I have been active as a translator between English and Swedish for over twenty years but also had a career in nursing and teaching during this time. As the pandemic struck I decided to give up teaching secondary school and take some time off in order to complete some personal writing projects, and as I have finished those but still enjoy working from home I'm now returning to translating full time.I'm a bit of a Jack of all trades in the sense that I know quite a bit in quite a few areas, and I'm certainly capable of helping you with translations in all areas listed. However, if I was to state a dream project to work on it would be spending my days translating museum catalogs for The British Museum as I am passionate about history, archaeology and ethnology. Currently I do not own any translation software and my rates reflect that.
