I am a writer and professional translator with many years of experience in the art of translating all kinds of texts from Danish to English: rapidly, accurately and with linguistic flair.

I am a native speaker of English, educated at Trinity College Dublin and the University of Copenhagen.

In 1999 I completed my MA thesis at the University of Copenhagen, The Concept of Information in Translation Theory, and in the following year I was awarded a gold medal by the university for a theoretical paper on the interaction between culture and information in translation.

I have a wide client base which includes Danish government agencies as well as private companies large and small.

I also translate fiction, and have translated a number of novels for Danish clients, as well as films, songs, and other material.

Whatever the size or nature of your translation requirements, you are welcome to contact me for an estimate without obligation.

As a writer, I have written and published four novels, two plays and a book of short stories, which have been well received and have been translated into several other languages.

I am a member of the Irish Writers' Union, the Danish Authors' Society, the Association of Danish-English Literary Translators and the Danish Translators' Association.
