I'm offering
In short, I love spending time with words. Words make me giddy.
I freelance as a proofreader, translator (Norwegian, Swedish, and English), and producer of subtitles for video lectures. I have two master's degrees (Art History and History) and solid experience with regards to doing research, as well as having read and written countless essays and dissertations. Years of academic studies have provided me with good time management skills, and I am used to working towards a deadline. I am a perfectionist and a grammar nerd, and always aim to deliver a high quality product.
I am a native Norwegian speaker, but have lived in Scotland for the past eight years and am fluent in English, both written and spoken. (Scottish? Well, that's a whole other story). I am an avid reader and like to keep up to date on my academic fields of research, as well as other subject areas that catch my interest. I also engage in creative writing, and am currently working on a novel.

Manager
Villsinn DA.
I started and managed a small business, a shop selling specialty teas and coffees, children's clothing
and toys, bespoke jewellery and gift items. I employed two shop assistants, but was involved with the running of the business on a daily basis myself, my responsibilities involving everything from brewing
coffee, cleaning, arranging goods, meeting with retailers, dealing with finances and accounting, and of course interacting with customers. The years of running a business and being an employer taught
me invaluable lessons in terms of the significance of time management, the ability to communicate
clearly, being approachable and accommodating, and encouraging good team work in order to create
a successful business and a positive and welcoming atmosphere. I am proud to have built a reputable
and growing business that contributed positively to the town centre. I chose to close down the shop in
