PERSONAL INFORMATION

Having always had a keen interest in engineering and technical matters, as a teenager I chose to attend a high school that taught engineering. After graduating from Hadsten High School, I became involved in voluntary work, helping refugees from Iran and Afghanistan. They helped me learn the Persian language, and for a number of years I worked as a translator and interpreter. I also taught Persian on a number of language courses in Denmark and abroad, and designed an interactive language teaching homepage. Lately I have been working with translation and proofreading of technical manuals and websites. I have also started working with search engine advertising and linguistic consulting.
