I am a professional translator of long standing, specializing in the Scandinavian languages and German, whilst translating exclusively into English, my mother tongue. I was born, bred and educated in the UK but have spent many years abroad, working and perfecting my knowledge of Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic and German, in particular.
My greatest area of expertise is any form of Danish, having lived in Denmark for 14 years. As well as translating written Danish, I sometimes act as a two-way interpreter between Danish and English. The majority of my work covers a wide range of specialisms and I am willing to tackle virtually any subject, as you will see from other parts of this website, in particular my portfolio and references.

Having worked for three different translation agencies (1 in London and 2 in Denmark) after graduating, I became a freelance translator in 1986 and have been translating full-time ever since. Now authorized as a qualified member of ITI, I deliver certified translations into English for use by courts, ministries, embassies and lawyers to name a few.
