I'm Maria Överlund, a Finnish professional with a strong background in translation, localization, and digital communications. Over the years I have coordinated complex projects at Nokia, Tredea, and Transperfect, helping cross-functional teams deliver quality content—from user guides to social media campaigns. I thrive in international environments and enjoy turning technical material into clear, user-friendly language. When I'm not coordinating projects, I translate and edit Finnish-English content, and I love crafting data-driven content strategies for B2B and B2C audiences.
