Overview

I provide copy-writing, copy-editing, proofreading and translation (Norwegian to English) for businesses, organisations, institutions and scientists. I am happy to consider all subject areas but I specialise in science, technology, business and medicine.

With an MSc in Oceanography I was ready to begin my 14-year career with Fugro GEOS and Fugro OCEANOR. This included postings in Singapore, Houston (USA) and Trondheim (Norway). This prepared me well for running my own business and here I am.

I love to interact with new clients from around the world and to build long-term professional relationships with them. My goal is to help clients communicate clearly so that they can gain more customers, sell more products and services, have clear HSE and technical information, and communicate their financial and scientific results accurately.

I look forward to discussing your requirements with you.
