Bio

An experienced specialist in legal and medical translation, I've been working in the field of literary translation for the past three years. My background includes 15+ years teaching  languages and literature at the high school and college levels as well as Finnish-English translation at the University of Eastern Finland. My translation of Ingrid and Joachim's biography of their daughter Kim Wall was nominated for the Bernard Shaw Translation Prize in 2021. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54020713-a-silenced-voice
