FINNISH TO ENGLISH

ABOUT ME

I am an English language specialist, providing translations from Finnish to English. I am specialised in academic texts, educational texts and non-fiction within the fields of society, democracy, social sciences, corporate responsibility and business management. However, I have experience in translating many types of texts, including children's literature, marketing, texts for museums and art exhibitions and webinars, while occasionally also doing subtitling and interpreting. If my experience does not align with your needs, you can still feel free to contact me, as I can direct you to a colleague with the expertise you require.

 

I graduated as a Master of Arts from the University of Helsinki in 2016, majoring in English Philology. I have been working as a translator since 2018.

LANGUAGES

FINNISH - ENGLISH - DUTCH

I am bilingual in Finnish and English, providing you good insight in both languages. I grew up in the Netherlands and can thus also provide translations from Dutch.

I have worked with many types of translations and continue to broaden my areas of expertise. I have translated academic texts, non-fiction books, children's literature, websites and other texts. In my translations, I always consider the clients’ wishes, the style and readers of the text. My translation services always include one round of corrections or editing.
