Bio
Best way to reach me is by e-mail. You can view my LinkedIn profile by copying this link into your browser: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-nygaard-bab1336

I have a PhD in Psychology from University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and an MA in Social Sciences from Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany.

I have worked in in health research in Germany, Denmark, Norway and the U.S. for 28 years. From Feb. 2016 to Sept. 2016 I worked (through a contractor) as an on-site language translator/tester for a large international technology company in Cupertino, CA.

Presently, I am a professor at California State University East Bay in Hayward, California. I have always had an interest in languages, and I can be described as "language nerd" with a clear eye for grammatics and syntax.

I am open to all types of translation projects, including personal documents. A minimum charge will apply to small projects.
