Resume……………………………………………

Danish Translator [ENGLISH->DANISH] – Language & Marketing con amor!

I'm a Danish native speaker working freelance for different agencies in fashion & entertainment who are seeking success with Danish consumers. I help my customers with localization of, primarily, English marketing texts to fit the Danish market, and I provide translated texts that are accurate, idiomatic and matching the tone of the source text.

My expertise falls within these overall categories
- Fashion/Retail
- Marketing in General
- Education, E-courses
- Entertainment (streaming services)


BACKGROUND, I have a master degree in English Literature and Rhetoric from Copenhagen University (2010) and a postgraduate in Didactics and the use of online tools (University of Southern Denmark, 2014). I have 3+ years’ experience within translation and QA + 7 years’
experience as an English teacher in the Danish high school system.

My work experiences and educational training have made me super proficient in the English and Danish idioms, and as a translator I understand that the devil is always in the details, and that you need to have a keen eye for tone, brevity and audience to be able to deliver translations of the highest quality.


    WORK AREA
 Localizations for a Danish audience within Marketing, Fashion, Education & Entertainment.
 SEO pages copywriting (9 months’ experience)
 QA (sites in beta, Pritunl VPN), Proofreading & editing (machine translations)
 Translation tools such as Trados (licence), Memsource, Phrase and MemoQ

Keywords: Danish, Education, Language Schools, Online Learning, Fashion Industry, Retail & Marketing, iGaming industry
