Diplomat turned translator - EN, ES, and PT into Swedish

I'm a former Swedish diplomat, media expert, communicator, lecturer, and analyst. Today I use my language skills, professional experience, and cultural understanding to provide translation services from English, Portuguese, and Spanish into Swedish. Everything I've done professionally for the past two decades has revolved around writing and translating. As a diplomat, press secretary to the Swedish Foreign Minister, ministry spokesperson, and editor of the ministry's internal magazine, I wrote, translated, edited, and proofread thousands of reports and press releases on a variety of topics, including politics, economics, human rights, social and cultural affairs, history, and sports. I've also taught "External and Media Communication" and "Understanding Cultural Differences" as an invited lecturer at Católica University in Lisbon, Portugal. I'm a team player with strong interpersonal and networking skills who thrives in a fast-paced multicultural environment. My academic credentials include a Bachelor of Arts in History from Uppsala University in Sweden and a Master of Arts in Political and Administrative Studies from the College of Europe in Bruges, Belgium. Aside from my native Sweden, I've lived in Belgium, Colombia, England, Ireland, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Spain. I currently reside in Lisbon, Portugal.
