I Have Worked As a Freelance Translator Since May 2000, and I Started My MA Studies

Profile:

I have worked as a freelance translator since May 2000, and I started my MA studies

in Denmark the same year with graduation in 2002. Shortly after I applied for and obtained my State-authorisation as Translator/Interpreter of English in 2002.

This authorisation and my educational background can be verified by visiting the translators' association, Translatørforeningen, at www.translatorforeningen.dk.

I have also lived and worked in London in the period from start 1991 to end 1992.
