Bio

Languages are a passion when you decided to study them at uni and you choose English and Danish, when you spend one year in Copenhagen to "improve" your Danish, when you finally get a BA degree, but it's not enough so you apply for the MA in the United Kingdom and you get accepted at Swansea University. I followed my dreams and now that I am close to the end of my study path I want to put in practice what I learnt and show it to as many people as possible.

The TED story

To work in the translation industry you need 2 years of experience, but how do you gain experience if you don't have a job in the industry? By translating something that interests you even if it's not paid. The reward is in knowing that people like your parents and some of your friends, who don't speak English for example, can enjoy what you enjoy and understand a small part of what you do and what you would like to do for the rest of your life.
