Bio

I am a full-time translator and proofreader working from a home office.
I am a native speaker of both English and Finnish (I come from a bilingual family) and therefore able to translate fluently from and into both languages. I was brought up in Finland and I later moved to England to complete my Sixth Form, after which I obtained a BA with Honors (Anthropology and Spanish) at the University of Sussex. These experiences have given me a very broad understanding of both languages, including their academic and cultural usage. In addition to translation work I have also worked as a language teacher (English and Finnish) at private academies in Bilbao for over six years, which has increased my knowledge about the grammatical structures of both Finnish and English.
As well as the above-mentioned languages, I also translate from Spanish and Basque into Finnish and English. I studied Spanish as part of my university degree and have lived in Bilbao for seven years, including an exchange year at the University of Deusto. I obtained the Advanced Basque language certificate (EGA) In November 2016.

My current clients include European, North American, and Asian translation agencies, as well as Universities in Finland, England, and the Spanish state. I have worked as a translator for ten years, including six as a full-time translator.
My extensive work experience has enabled me to gain both a deep and broad understanding of my working languages in several different fields.
