Summary
I started working for the EU institutions as a freelance interpreter in September 2000 and then in 2003, I became a staff interpreter in the Swedish booth at the European Commission. In 2014 I decided to leave Belgium and live closer to home, so I left the Commission, moved to Stockholm and became a freelance interpreter again, working both in the private market sector and for the EU-institutions.
