Before becoming a fulltime translator I mostly worked in the area of tourism, both in Sweden and the US. I have worked as a freelance translator part-time for many years, and on a fulltime basis since 2000. I stay on top of what is going on in Sweden by following the Swedish media, along with occasional visits. 

Translation is just not a matter of transforming a text into a different language; it is about staying true to the original without sacrificing its fluency and readability. You cannot just be proficient in two languages and give it a go. I have deep cultural knowledge about both Sweden and the US. I am not officially certified/accredited since, unfortunately, there is as of yet no certification available for Swedish translators in the US. I am an active member of The American Translators Association (ATA) and its Nordic Division. (See certificate of membership here and Proz.com here.

My goal is to provide you with a top-notch translation that will reflect its original as well as being appropriately localized into the target language. I have the latest computer technology and tools to assure you a speedy experience, but above all, quality is my priority.
